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

backgroundSAGE-217, a novel γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABA

methodsIn the SAD study, subjects were randomized 6:2 to a single dose of SAGE-217 or placebo. Doses ranged from 0.25 to 66 mg across nine cohorts. In the MAD study, subjects were randomized 9:3 and received SAGE-217 (15, 30, or 35 mg) or placebo once daily for 7 days. In both studies, PK, maximum tolerated dose (MTD; against predetermined criteria), safety, and tolerability were assessed.

resultsA total of 108 healthy volunteers enrolled in the studies-72 subjects in the SAD study and 36 subjects in the MAD study. SAGE-217 was orally bioavailable, with a terminal-phase half-life of 16-23 h and a t

conclusionsSAGE-217 was generally well tolerated, and its PK profile was well characterized. Based on this profile, SAGE-217 has been advanced into multiple phase II clinical programs and pivotal studies of major depressive disorder and postpartum depression.
