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.

Abstract

objectivePostherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a condition that results from nerve dysfunction following an episode of acute herpes zoster (shingles). Mirogabalin is a novel, selective oral α2δ ligand that demonstrated safety and efficacy in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 14-week study in Asian patients with PHN. This 52-week, open-label extension study investigated the long-term safety and efficacy of flexible-dosage mirogabalin in Asian patients with PHN.

methodsThis open-label extension study enrolled patients who completed the placebo-controlled study. Patients started with a dose of 5 mg mirogabalin twice daily (BID), which was followed by a flexible dose of 10 or 15 mg BID. During the study, patients assessed their pain using the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ). Adverse events were monitored throughout the study.

resultsOf 239 enrolled patients, 184 (77.0%) completed the study and 185 patients (77.4%) received the 15 mg BID dose most during the treatment duration. Most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild or moderate. The most common TEAEs were nasopharyngitis, somnolence, dizziness, weight increased, and edema. All SF-MPQ scales decreased from baseline to week 52.

conclusionsThis study showed the safety and stable pain management of a long-term flexible dosing regimen of mirogabalin 10 or 15 mg twice daily for 52 weeks in patients with PHN. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTERED AT CLINICALTRIALS.GOV:: NCT02318719. SUMMARY FOR TABLE OF CONTENTS: Mirogabalin-a novel α2δ oral ligand-was shown to be effective and well tolerated for treating postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in an Asian multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 14-week study. This open-label, 52-week study was conducted as an extension of the double-blind study to demonstrate long-term safety and efficacy of mirogabalin.
