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

backgroundUpadacitinib, a novel selective Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor, has been recently approved by the US FDA for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). An ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the quantitative analysis of upadacitinib in beagle dog plasma was developed and validated.

methodsUpadacitinib and fedratinib (internal standard, IS) were extracted with ethyl acetate under alkaline condition and then separated and detected. The chromatographic column was Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm), the mobile phase was acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water with gradient elution procedure, and the flow rate was 0.40 mL/min. Under the positive ion mode, upadacitinib and IS were monitored by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) as the following mass transition pairs:

resultsIn the concentration range of 1-500 ng/mL, upadacitinib had good linearity, and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 1 ng/mL. The RSD of the intra- and inter-day precision was less than 10.03%, and the RE of accuracy was -3.79% to 2.58%. The extraction recovery of upadacitinib was more than 80%, the matrix effect was around 100%, and upadacitinib was found to be stable.

conclusionThe novel optimized UPLC-MS/MS assay was an effective tool for the determination of upadacitinib and had been successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of upadacitinib in beagle dogs, and this method would also be used to study DDIs.
