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

This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BIA 10-2474, a fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor, after first administration to healthy male and female participants. Participants (n = 116) were recruited into this phase I, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose (10-day) study. The primary outcome was the safety and tolerability of BIA 10-2474. Secondary outcomes were pharmacokinetics of BIA 10-2474 and pharmacodynamics, considering plasma concentrations of anandamide and three other fatty acid amides (FAAs) and leukocyte FAAH activity. Single oral doses of 0.25-100 mg and repeated oral doses of 2.5-50 mg were evaluated. BIA 10-2474 was well tolerated up to 100 mg as a single dose and up to 20 mg once daily for 10 days. In the cohort receiving repeated administrations of 50 mg, there were central nervous system adverse events in five of six participants, one with fatal outcome, which led to early termination of the study. BIA 10-2474 showed a linear relationship between dose and area under plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) across the entire dose range and reached steady state within 5-6 days of administration, with an accumulation ratio, based on AUC
