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

aimsMyeloperoxidase activity can contribute to impaired vascular endothelial function and fibrosis in chronic inflammation-related cardiovascular disease. Here, we investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the myeloperoxidase inhibitor, AZD4831.

methodsIn this randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, phase I, first-in-human study, healthy men in five sequential cohorts were randomized 3:1 to receive a single oral dose of AZD4831 (5, 15, 45, 135 or 405 mg) or placebo, after overnight fasting. After at least 7 days' washout, one cohort additionally received AZD4831 45 mg after a high-calorie meal.

resultsForty men participated in the study (eight per cohort: AZD4831, n = 6; placebo, n = 2). AZD4831 distributed rapidly into plasma, with a half-life of 38.2-50.0 hours. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) increased proportionally with dose (AUC

conclusionsAZD4831 was generally well tolerated, rapidly absorbed, had a long plasma half-life and lowered uric acid concentrations after single oral doses in healthy men. These findings support the further clinical development of AZD4831.
