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

objectiveTo evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of ASP8477 in patients with peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP).

designEnriched enrollment randomized withdrawal.

settingCenters in Poland (four), Czech Republic (six), and the United Kingdom (two). SUBJECTS: Patients aged 18 years or older with PNP resulting from painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia.

methodsA four-week screening period followed by a single-blind period (six-day dose titration and three-week maintenance period with ASP8477 [20/30 mg BID]). Treatment responders (defined as a ≥30% decrease in the mean average daily pain intensity during the last three days of the single-blind period) were stratified by disease and randomized to receive placebo or continue ASP8477 during a three-week, double-blind, randomized withdrawal period. The primary end point was change in mean 24-hour average numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) from baseline to end of double-blind period.

resultsAmong 132 patients who enrolled, 116 entered the single-blind period and 63 (ASP8477, N = 31; placebo, N = 32) completed the double-blind period. There was no difference in mean 24-hour average NPRS score (P = 0.644) or in time-to-treatment failure (P = 0.485) between ASP8477 and placebo. During the single-blind period, 57.8% of patients were treatment responders. ASP8477 was well tolerated. During the single-blind period, 22% of patients experienced at least one treatment-related adverse event (TEAE); during the double-blind period, 8% in the ASP8477 arm and 18% in the placebo arm experienced at least one TEAE.

conclusionsASP8477 was well tolerated in patients with PNP; however, ASP8477 did not demonstrate a significant treatment difference compared with placebo.
