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

backgroundBardoxolone methyl has been shown to increase eGFR in several clinical trials, including a phase 3 trial in patients with type 2 diabetes and stage 4 CKD (BEACON), which was terminated early due to an increase in heart failure events in bardoxolone methyl-treated patients. A separate, "thorough QT" study was conducted in parallel with BEACON to evaluate the cardiovascular safety of bardoxolone methyl in healthy subjects.

methodsSubjects in the "thorough QT" study were randomized to receive bardoxolone methyl 20 mg (therapeutic dose) or 80 mg (supratherapeutic dose), placebo, or moxifloxacin (400 mg; an active comparator). ECG results and supine blood pressure measurements were analyzed. The effects of bardoxolone methyl on QT interval changes from baseline were quantified compared to the effect of placebo by calculating mean, time-matched, placebo-corrected, baseline-adjusted QTcF values (ΔΔQTcF) after 6 days of daily administration of bardoxolone methyl.

resultsThe study was halted early due to emerging safety information from the BEACON trial; however, 142/179 patients received all doses of the study drug and completed the study. For both bardoxolone methyl-treated groups (20 and 80 mg), the upper limits of the 2-sided 90% confidence interval for ΔΔQTcF were less than the significance limit (10 ms) at all time points. Changes in blood pressure were similar in all treatment groups, and no serious adverse events were reported.

conclusionsIn healthy subjects, treatment with 20 or 80 mg bardoxolone methyl did not affect the QTcF interval.
