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

introductionInflammatory cell recruitment, which is potentially mediated by the monocyte chemoattractant protein 1/C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) system and by C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) activity, may play a role in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. PF-04634817 is a dual chemokine CCR2/5 receptor antagonist that is being developed for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

methodsWe evaluated the efficacy of PF-04634817 compared with matching placebo for reduction of albuminuria after 12 weeks of treatment in subjects with type 2 diabetes who received standard of care (SOC; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker therapy), in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 2 study.

resultsA total of 226 subjects who received SOC with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rates between 20 and 75 ml/min per 1.73 m

conclusionDespite the good safety profile shown by PF-04634817, clinical development for this indication was discontinued in light of the modest efficacy observed.
