Article in JACC. Basic to translational science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03767855 (A Phase 1, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Part, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study of CK-3773274 in Healthy Adult Subjects), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

This phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of aficamten (formerly CK-3773274) in healthy adults identified a pharmacologically active range of doses and exposures. At doses that were pharmacologically active (single doses of ≤50 mg or daily dosing of ≤10 mg for 14 or 17 days), aficamten appeared to be safe and well tolerated. Adverse events were generally mild and no more frequent than with placebo. Pharmacokinetic assessments showed dose proportionality over the range of single doses administered, and pharmacokinetics were not affected by administration with food or in otherwise healthy individuals with a cytochrome P450 2D6 poor metabolizer phenotype. (A Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study of CK-3773274 in Health Adult Subjects; NCT03767855).
