Trial report in Clinical drug investigation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03226275 (A Randomized, Two-period Crossover Trial Examining Bioequivalence of Bisoprolol-Amlodipine 5 mg/5 mg Combination Tablets Versus Bisoprolol 5 mg Tablets and Amlodipine 5 mg Tablets Given Concomitantly in Healthy Subjects in Fasting and Fed State), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundThe pharmacokinetics of bisoprolol and amlodipine administered as a fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet have not been sufficiently studied in healthy Chinese subjects to support a medical need for using the FDC in hypertension.

objectiveThis study was conducted to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of the bisoprolol-amlodipine FDC tablet with the bisoprolol tablet and amlodipine tablet administered concomitantly under both fasting and fed conditions.

methodsAn open-label, randomized, two-period, two-sequence crossover study was designed under both fasting and fed conditions. The plasma concentrations of bisoprolol and amlodipine were analyzed using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay, and the pharmacokinetic parameters of maximum concentration (C

resultsThe point estimate of geometric mean ratios of C

conclusionsBioequivalence was achieved for bisoprolol and amlodipine FDC under both fasting and fed conditions, and all treatments were safe and well tolerated by all study subjects.
