Long-Term Safety and Tolerability During a Clinical Trial and Open-Label Extension of Low-Sodium Oxybate in Participants with Narcolepsy with Cataplexy.
Trial report in CNS drugs, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03030599 (A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized-Withdrawal, Multicenter Study of the Efficacy and Safety of JZP-258 in Subjects With Narcolepsy With Cataplexy), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundThe safety and efficacy of low-sodium oxybate (LXB; Xywav
methodsIn a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal trial of LXB, TEAEs were evaluated during the 12-week OLOTTP, the 2-week SDP, and the subsequent 24-week OLE. Eligible participants were aged 18-70 years with a diagnosis of narcolepsy with cataplexy. At study entry, participants were taking sodium oxybate (SXB) alone, SXB with other anticataplectics, other anticataplectics alone, or were anticataplectic-treatment naive; other anticataplectics were tapered and discontinued during the OLOTTP. All participants initiated LXB during week 1 of the OLOTTP, and their dose was individually titrated based on safety and efficacy. Following the main study period, participants entered the OLE after rescreening (re-entry) after discontinuing LXB treatment or directly after completing the main study (rollover). TEAEs were assessed in the safety population as of database lock. TEAE duration was defined as time from TEAE start date to end date (or end of SDP or OLE, if end date was unrecorded).
resultsThe safety population included 201 participants (SXB alone, n = 52; SXB with other anticataplectics, n = 23; other anticataplectics alone, n = 36; anticataplectic-treatment naive, n = 90). During the OLOTTP/SDP, headache was the most common LXB-emergent TEAE overall (71 events; n = 42 (21%); median (range) duration = 1 (1-147) day), followed by nausea (31 events; n = 26 (13%); median (range) duration = 9 (1-54) days) and dizziness (26 events; n = 21 (10%); median (range) duration = 7 (1-117) days). Among the 74 participants in the OLE, the most commonly reported TEAEs were headache (14 events; n = 7, 9%; peak incidence month 3 (n = 5/72); median (range) duration = 1 (1‒25) day), dizziness (8 events; n = 5, 7%; peak incidence month 1 (n = 3/74); median (range) duration = 26 (1‒181) days), and nasopharyngitis (6 events; n = 6, 8%; peak incidence month 6 (n = 2/69); median (range) duration = 9 (1‒24) days). Overall, study discontinuations attributed to TEAEs were 21/65 (32%) during the OLOTTP and SDP and 3/7 (43%) during the OLE.
conclusionsIn this long-term analysis, the safety and tolerability profile of LXB was generally consistent with the known safety profile of SXB. During the OLOTTP and SDP, most TEAEs occurred early and were generally of short duration. TEAE prevalence decreased throughout the duration of the OLE; the most common TEAEs reported during the OLE were headache, dizziness, and nasopharyngitis.
