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

backgroundAdrenomedullin (AM), an endogenous vasodilative peptide, has immunomodulative effects and acts as an accelerator of mucosal regeneration in the digestive tract. AM has shown beneficial effects in rodent models of inflammatory bowel disease and patients with ulcerative colitis. The present study aimed to evaluate the pharmacodynamic properties and safety of AM in healthy male adults in a phase 1 clinical trial.

methodsThis phase 1, randomized, double-blind, single-center study was conducted on healthy males aged 20-65 years. Subjects received either a placebo, 3 ng/kg/min AM, 9 ng/kg/min AM, or 15 ng/kg/min AM via continuous 12-h intravenous infusion. Other subjects received either placebo or 15 ng/kg/min AM for 8 h per day for 7 days. Adverse events (AEs), vital signs, physical examinations, laboratory tests, electrocardiograms (ECG), and pharmacokinetics were assessed.

findingsAll 24 subjects in the single-dose test completed the study. Of the 12 subjects in multiple dosing test, one from the AM group withdrew owing to a headache. No serious AEs were reported. Hemodynamic parameters were well maintained in all subjects. Slight ECG abnormalities were observed in the single-dose test. The plasma concentration of AM progressively increased in a dose-dependent manner and reached C

interpretationThis is the first phase 1 trial in healthy men evaluating the safety of AM. Our results demonstrate the safety and tolerability of AM for subsequent Phase 2 trials.
