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

objectivesChiglitazar is a novel configuration-restricted non-thiazolidinedione peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor pan-agonist currently in the Phase III clinical development stage for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The objective of this Phase I study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of chiglitazar tablets taken orally and the effect of food on its pharmacokinetics in healthy Chinese subjects.

methodsA single-centre, open-label, randomised, two-stage Phase I study was carried out. In the first-stage study, we evaluated a single dose of 8, 16, or 32 mg, and multiple doses of 16 mg, taken once daily for 9 days. The effect of food consumption was also studied in this stage. In the second-stage study, a greater range of single doses (24, 48 or 72 mg) were further evaluated. Pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability profiles were assessed at each study stage.

resultsAfter a single oral dose of chiglitazar, at doses ranging from 8 to 72 mg, the maximum plasma concentration (C

conclusionsChiglitazar tablets showed a good dose-dependent linear pharmacokinetic profile in the dose range of 8-72 mg. There was no accumulation after multiple daily administration of chiglitazar at a dose of 16 mg.  High-fat/calorie food increased the absorption of the drug, but there were no significant changes in exposure and other pharmacokinetic parameters. Chiglitazar was safe and well tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects at the dose levels and administration regimens evaluated.
