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

aimsFasiglifam, a potent, selective novel agonist of G protein-coupled receptor 40, stimulates insulin secretion at elevated blood glucose levels in a glucose-dependent manner. This study evaluated the potential effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single dose of fasiglifam and its metabolite M-I. Fasiglifam's clinical development was halted due to liver safety concerns.

methodsIn this phase I, open-label study, subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, along with matched controls (gender, weight, age, and smoking status), received a single, 25-mg oral dose of fasiglifam. Blood samples were collected through 336 h post-dose for pharmacokinetic evaluation.

resultsOverall, 73% of subjects were male with a mean age of 54 years. Compared with normal hepatic function subjects (n = 14), mean systemic fasiglifam exposure (C

conclusionHepatic status did not significantly impact systemic exposure of fasiglifam in this study, in fact, a decrease was observed, suggesting no dose reduction would be required for patients with hepatic impairment.
