Metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and anticonvulsant activity of a deuterated analog of the α2/3-selective GABAkine KRM-II-81.

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.
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
The imidazodiazepine, (5-(8-ethynyl-6-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-benzo [f]imidazole[1,5-α][1,4]diazepin-3-yl) oxazole or KRM-II-81) is a new α2/3-selective GABAkine (gamma aminobutyric acid A receptor potentiator) with anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, and antinociceptive activity in preclinical models. Reducing metabolism was utilized as a means of potentially extending the half-life of KRM-II-81. In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to evaluate metabolic liabilities. Incubation of KRM-II-81 in hepatocytes revealed sites of potential metabolism on the oxazole and the diazepine rings. These sites were targeted in the design of a deuterated analog (D5-KRM-II-81) that could be evaluated as a potentially longer-acting analog. In contrast to computer predictions, peak plasma concentrations of D5-KRM-II-81 in rats were not significantly greater than those produced by KRM-II-81 after oral administration. Furthermore, brain disposition of KRM-II-81 was higher than that of D5-KRM-II-81. The half-life of the two compounds in either plasma or brain did not statistically differ from one another but the t
