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

Selecting a dose regimen that is both safe and effective for patients is one of the most critical elements of a successful drug development program. Titrating the dose regimen of a drug based on patient response may help to identify safe and effective dosages at the individual patient level. Therefore, we quantified and characterized the use of response-guided titration for drugs recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to assess how frequently this dosing strategy is used and how titration regimens are evaluated during drug development. Most of the 181 drugs approved from 2013-2017 (78%) had only one approved dosing regimen. Only 30 of 76 (39%) drugs that were considered amenable to response-guided dosing strategies had information in labeling about such strategies. These findings indicate that although response-guided titration can be found in labeling, this strategy is used in a minority of drugs for which it may be useful. Careful consideration should be made early in drug development as to whether a new drug is amenable to response-guided titration as an approach to reducing interpatient variability.
