Article in Pulmonary circulation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04456998 (A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Inhalation of GB002 for the Treatment of WHO Group 1 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Aberrant kinase signaling that involves platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) α/β, colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), and stem cell factor receptor (c-KIT) pathways may be responsible for vascular remodeling in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Targeting these specific pathways may potentially reverse the pathological inflammation, cellular proliferation, and fibrosis associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension progression. Seralutinib (formerly known as GB002) is a novel, potent, clinical stage inhibitor of PDGFRα/β, CSF1R, and c-KIT delivered via inhalation that is being developed for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Here, we report on an ongoing Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (NCT04456998) evaluating the efficacy and safety of seralutinib in subjects with World Health Organization Group 1 Pulmonary Hypertension who are classified as Functional Class II or III. A total of 80 subjects will be enrolled and randomized to receive either study drug or placebo for 24 weeks followed by an optional 72-week open-label extension study. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline to Week 24 in pulmonary vascular resistance by right heart catheterization. The secondary endpoint is the change in distance from baseline to Week 24 achieved in the 6-min walk test. A computerized tomography sub-study will examine the effect of seralutinib on pulmonary vascular remodelling. A separate heart rate monitoring sub-study will examine the effect of seralutinib on cardiac effort during the 6-min walk test.
