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

We evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamics of AZD4831, a novel oral myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitor, in a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study, following once-daily multiple ascending dosing to steady-state in healthy subjects. Target engagement was measured as specific MPO activity in plasma following ex vivo zymosan stimulation of whole blood. Except for generalized maculopapular rash in 4 of 13 subjects receiving the 2 highest doses, 15 and 45 mg AZD4831, no clinically relevant safety and tolerability findings were observed. AZD4831 was rapidly absorbed and plasma concentrations declined slowly with an elimination half-life of ~ 60 hours. A dose/concentration-effect relationship between MPO inhibition vs. AZD4831 exposure was established with > 50% MPO inhibition in plasma at concentrations in the low nanomolar range. Steady-state levels were achieved within 10 days. Taken together, the PK profile, the sustained dose/concentration-dependent MPO inhibition, and available clinical data support further clinical development of AZD4831 in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
