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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to apply the reference-scaled average bioequivalence (RSABE) approach to evaluate the bioequivalence and to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of two formulations of fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet of sofosbuvir (SOF) and ledipasvir (LED) (400/90 mg) in 36 healthy Egyptian volunteers.

methodsThe study was performed in single-dose, randomized-sequence, open-label, reference-replicated, 3-period crossover design (RTR, TRR, RRT), with a washout period of 2 weeks. A rapid and simple LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of SOF and LED using eplerenone as an internal standard (IS).

resultsThe results showed that the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for natural log-transformed ratios of C

conclusionsIn conclusion, bioequivalence between the two fixed-dose combination products was demonstrated for both active ingredients.
