Trial report in Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02858973 (A Phase 1B, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Q203 When Administered Orally to 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.

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

A phase 1b, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multiple ascending dose study (NCT02858973) was conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the new antituberculosis agent telacebec (Q203). A total of 47 healthy adult subjects entered the study; 36 received telacebec, and 11 received placebo. Telacebec at doses of 20, 50, 100, 160, 250, and 320 mg was orally administered once daily with a standard meal for 14 days. Multiple oral doses of telacebec up to 320 mg daily for 14 days appeared to be safe and well tolerated by healthy adult subjects in this study. There were no deaths, serious adverse events, or subject discontinuations due to adverse events. Following oral doses of telacebec, the overall extent (AUC
