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

backgroundPeginterferon beta-1a administered every 2 weeks

methodsA phase I, open-label, two-period crossover study randomized healthy volunteers to receive a single dose of peginterferon beta-1a 125 mcg administered IM followed by a single 125 mcg dose administered SC after a 28-day washout or vice versa. Blood samples were collected up to 504 h post dose to determine pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles. The primary endpoint was assessment of bioequivalence based on maximum serum concentration (C

resultsThe study enrolled 136 participants. Bioequivalence of IM and SC peginterferon beta-1a was established for both C

conclusionsThese results demonstrate bioequivalence between peginterferon beta-1a IM and SC and support the consideration of IM injection of peginterferon beta-1a as a viable treatment option in patients with RRMS and RMS.
