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/

objectiveFKB327 is a biosimilar of the adalimumab reference product (RP). The primary objective was to assess the relative bioavailability of FKB327 after a single subcutaneous (SC) dose via prefilled syringe (PFS), auto-injector (AI), or vial with a disposable syringe (vial), in healthy subjects.

methodsThis randomized, open-label, parallel-group, single SC-dose study was conducted in 195 healthy male and female subjects who were randomized 1:1:1 to receive FKB327 40 mg via PFS, AI, or vial. The primary pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, areas under the serum concentration-time curve to the last detectable value (AUC

resultsThe mean serum FKB327 concentration-time profiles appeared similar across all 3 presentations. AUC

conclusionAmong all 3 delivery methods, PK characteristics, safety profiles, and immunogenicity were similar.
