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

Telacebec (Q203) is a potent drug candidate under clinical development for the treatment of drug-naïve and drug-resistant tuberculosis. The first-in-human randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation Phase 1A trial (Q203-TB-PI-US001) was conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of telacebec. A total of 56 normal, healthy, male and female subjects (42 active and 14 placebo) were enrolled in the study. The doses of telacebec were 10 mg (Cohort 1), 30 mg (Cohort 2), 50 mg (Cohort 3), 100 mg (Cohort 4), 200 mg (Cohort 5), 400 mg (Cohort 6), and 800 mg (Cohort 7) in a fasted state. Subjects participating in Cohort 4 were also enrolled in Cohort 8 to investigate the food effect on the pharmacokinetics of telacebec after a high-fat meal. In all subjects dosed with telacebec (10 to 800 mg), telacebec was well tolerated and did not lead to any significant or serious adverse events. Following a single oral administration of telacebec (10 to 800 mg), telacebec plasma concentration reached the maximal plasma concentration (
