1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

aimsTo compare the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of FKB327, a biosimilar of adalimumab, with European Union (EU)-approved Humira and US-licensed Humira after single subcutaneous doses in healthy subjects.

methodsIn a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study, 180 healthy subjects received by subcutaneous injection 40 mg of EU-Humira, or US-Humira, or FKB327, in a 1:1:1 ratio, stratified by bodyweight. Pharmacokinetics, local tolerability, immunogenicity, adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiography and laboratory safety tests were assessed prior to and up to 1536 h after treatment.

resultsThe pharmacokinetics of FKB327 were similar to those of both EU- and US-Humira. The 90% confidence interval for the ratios of AUC

conclusionsThe study demonstrated pharmacokinetic similarity of FKB327 with EU- and US-Humira. FKB327 was well tolerated by healthy subjects, with adverse effects similar to Humira. If clinical similarity to Humira, including efficacy, can be shown in patients, FKB327 will meet the criteria for biosimilarity to Humira.
