A first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, single- and multiple-dose, phase I study of recombinant human thymosin β4 in healthy Chinese volunteers.
Trial report in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
The study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-drug antibody (ADA) of the recombinant human thymosin β4 (NL005) for single and multiple intravenous injections in healthy subjects. Seven cohorts, with 54 healthy subjects, were given a single intravenous dose of NL005 or placebo and were observed for 28 days. The cohorts received ascending doses of either 0.05, 0.25, 0.5, 2.0, 5.0, 12.5 or 25.0 μg/kg in the single-dose trial. A total of 30 healthy subjects were randomly enrolled in the multiple-dose trial, and 3 cohorts (0.5, 2.0 and 5.0 μg/kg) were administered once human thymosin β4 daily for 10 days and observed for 28 days. The adverse events were mild to moderate in intensity. There were no dose-limiting toxicities or serious adverse events. The plasma concentration, maximum peak concentration (C
