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

introductionThe mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blocker esaxerenone is a new treatment for hypertension in Japan and under development for treatment of diabetic nephropathy. Hepatic impairment is known to impact the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of other MR blocking drugs. The aim of the present study was to characterise the PKs and safety of a single oral dose of esaxerenone in Japanese subjects with mild-moderate hepatic impairment.

methodsIn this open-label, parallel-group study, subjects with mild (Child-Pugh grade A) or moderate (grade B) hepatic impairment, and healthy controls with normal hepatic function matched by age and BMI (all groups n = 6), received a single 2.5-mg oral dose of esaxerenone. Plasma concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and PK parameters were calculated using non-compartmental analysis.

resultsGeometric least-squares mean (GLSM) ratios (90% confidence intervals [CIs]) for area under the plasma concentration-time curve (up to the last quantifiable time, up to infinity) in subjects with mild hepatic impairment versus normal hepatic function were 0.837 (0.637, 1.099) and 0.824 (0.622, 1.092), respectively. Corresponding values for moderate hepatic impairment versus normal hepatic function were 1.078 (0.820, 1.415) and 1.098 (0.829, 1.454). GLSM ratios (90% CIs) for peak plasma concentration (C

conclusionsMild to moderate hepatic impairment had no clinically relevant effect on esaxerenone exposure. Esaxerenone dosage adjustment based on PKs is unlikely to be needed in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment.
