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

introductionCervical dystonia (CD) is a neurologic movement disorder with potentially disabling effects and significant impact on quality of life of those affected. AbobotulinumtoxinA (aboBoNT-A) was initially approved for a dilution of 500 U/1 mL and subsequently for a dilution of 500 U/2 mL, providing flexibility for clinicians to treat CD. Here, we explore the safety and efficacy of the 500 U/2 mL dilution versus 500 U/1 mL dilution of aboBoNT-A in a retrospective analysis based on published clinical trial data.

methodsThe safety and efficacy of aboBoNT-A in patients with CD was evaluated in three multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials and open-label extensions. Trials 1 (NCT00257660) and 2 (NCT00288509) evaluated the 500 U/1 mL dilution in 80 and 116 patients, respectively; Trial 3 (NCT01753310) evaluated the 500 U/2 mL dilution in 125 patients.

resultsComparison of the adjusted mean difference in TWSTRS total scores at Week 4 from baseline for aboBoNT-A in Trial 1 (-6.0; 95% CI, -10.8, -1.3), Trial 2 (-8.8; 95% CI, -12.9, -4.7), and Trial 3 (-8.7; 95% CI, -13.2, -4.2) showed similar, significant improvements. Dysphagia and muscle weakness patterns were comparable across the three trials, indicating that an increased dilution of aboBoNT-A does not result in an increased risk of diffusion-related adverse events.

conclusionThe results of these trials show that aboBoNT-A is similarly efficacious using either dilution, with similar safety and tolerability across trials. Having the 500 U/1 mL and 500 U/2 mL dilution volumes available provides further flexibility in administration, benefiting patient care.
