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

backgroundPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease characterized by a progressive rise in pulmonary vascular resistance. Ambrisentan is an oral, propanoic acid based-endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA), selective for the endothelin type-A receptor, which is approved for the treatment of PAH. The Colombia National Food and Drug Surveillance Institute regulatory criteria require demonstrating that the proposed generic product is bioequivalent to its reference-listed drug to obtain marketing approval.

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to test the bioequivalence, pharmacokinetics, and tolerability of ambrisentan 10 mg tablets.

methodsIn this open-label, randomized, oral single-dose, two-way crossover bioequivalence study, 26 Mexican adult healthy male subjects received either the generic product of ambrisentan 10 mg or the reference product Volibris

resultsThe ratios (90% CI) of geometric mean for ambrisentan were 104.3% (97.12-111.98%) and 100.2% (95.56-104.72%). These pharmacokinetic parameter values lie within the INVIMA-specified bioequivalence limits of 80%-125%. Nervous system disorders were the most common adverse events (AEs). All AEs were mild to moderate in nature and were resolved after follow-up or pharmacologic treatment. Both products were safe and well tolerated.

conclusionsThe test product ambrisentan 10 mg tablets is bioequivalent to the reference product Volibris
