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

introductionThree studies compared the bioequivalence (BE) of new generic tablet formulations of sitagliptin (100 mg; fasting) and the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of sitagliptin/metformin (50/850 mg, 50/1000 mg; both fed) in healthy volunteers with the same tablet strengths of the reference products Januvia and Janumet.

methodsThe study design was open-label, single-dose, randomized with two-way crossover periods. Blood sampling was performed for 72/48 h in the sitagliptin/FDC studies, respectively. Primary pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for sitagliptin and metformin were area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to last timepoint of measurable concentration (AUC

resultsTreated/evaluable volunteers for BE per study were: 30/28 (sitagliptin 100 mg), 26/25 (FDC 50/850 mg), and 26/24 (FDC 50/1000 mg). The 90% CI of the geometric means of T/R ratios for primary PK parameters were within predefined BE limits: CI for AUC

conclusionsThe new generic tablet formulations of sitagliptin 100 mg and the FDCs sitagliptin/metformin 50/850 mg and 50/1000 mg demonstrated bioequivalence to originator reference products. Therefore, the new products are expected to provide efficacy and tolerability similar to those of the reference products in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
