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

MK-8507 is an investigational HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. MK-8507 contains 2 trifluoromethyl groups that may result in fluoride release through metabolism, but the extent of MK-8507-related fluoride release in humans has yet to be determined. This double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-period, parallel-group, multiple-dose trial in healthy participants without HIV-1 who were administered a fluoride-restricted diet and once-weekly doses of MK-8507 aimed to estimate the relationship between MK-8507 dose and fluoride exposure. A total of 15 adult male and 3 adult female (of non-childbearing potential) participants were randomized to receive MK-8507 200 mg (n = 6), MK-8507 800 mg (n = 6), or placebo (n = 6). Change from baseline in mean daily fluoride excretion averaged over 7 days following the administration of MK-8507 200 mg resulted in a net mean increase of 19.8 μmol (90% confidence interval, 12.2-27.4) relative to placebo and did not exceed 57 μmol, a threshold related to the mean difference between the daily reference dose set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the average dietary fluoride intake in the United States. However, daily urinary fluoride excretion exceeded the threshold following administration of 800 mg MK-8507 (75.1 μmol [90% confidence interval, 67.5-82.7]). Assuming a linear relationship between MK-8507 dose and estimated mean daily fluoride released at steady-state, data interpolation suggests that the US Environmental Protection Agency reference dose for fluoride would not be exceeded in most patients when administering MK-8507 at doses currently under clinical investigation (≤400 mg once weekly).
