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

A sensitive, fast and robust liquid chromatography--tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of usaramine (URM) and usaramine N-oxide (UNO) in rat plasma. The separation was conducted on an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 Column (50 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) and gradient eluted with mobile phase A (0.1% formic acid with 5 mM ammonium acetate in water) and B (0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile/methanol, 9/1, v/v). The method was linear over the range of 1-2,000 ng/mL for both analytes. The validated method was applied to investigate the pharmacokinetic behaviors and sex differences of URM and its N-oxide metabolite in rats. After intravenous administration of URM at 1 mg/kg, the AUC0-t values for URM and UNO were 363 ± 65 and 172 ± 32 ng/mL*h in male rats, while 744 ± 122 and 30.7 ± 7.4 ng/mL*h in females, respectively. The clearance of URM was significantly higher in male rats than in females (2.77 ± 0.50 vs 1.35 ± 0.19 L/h/kg, P < 0.05). After oral administration of URM at 10 mg/kg, the AUC0-t values of URM and UNO were 1,960 ± 208 and 1,637 ± 246 ng/mL*h in male rats, while 6,073 ± 488 and 300 ± 62 ng/mL*h in females, respectively. The oral bioavailability of URM in female rats (81.7%) was much higher than in males (54.0%). In conclusion, sex-based differences were observed in the pharmacokinetics, N-oxide metabolism and oral bioavailability of URM.
