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

The 2021 Annual Safety Pharmacology (SP) Society (SPS) meeting was held virtually October 4-8, 2021 due to the continuing COVID-19 global pandemic. This themed issue of J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods comprises articles arising from the meeting. As in previous years the manuscripts reflect various areas of innovation in SP including a perspective on aging and its impact on drug attrition during safety assessments, an integrated assessment of respiratory, cardiovascular and animal activity of in vivo nonclinical studies, development of a dynamic QT-rate correction method in primates, evaluation of the "comprehensive in vitro proarrhythmia assay" (CiPA) ion channel protocol to the automated patch clamp, and best practices regarding the conduct of hERG electrophysiology studies and an analysis of secondary pharmacology assays by the FDA. The meeting also generated 85 abstracts (reproduced in the current volume of J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods). It appears that the validation of methods remains a challenge in SP. Nevertheless, the continued efforts to mine approaches to detection of proarrhythmia liability remains a baffling obsession given the ability of Industry to completely prevent drugs entering into clinical study only to be found to have proarrhythmic properties, with no reports of such for at least ten years. Perhaps it is time to move on from CiPA and find genuine problems to solve?
