Alternative Analysis Approaches for the Assessment of Pilot Bioavailability/Bioequivalence Studies.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pilot bioavailability/bioequivalence (BA/BE) studies are usually conducted and analysed similarly to pivotal studies. Their analysis and interpretation of results usually rely on the application of the average bioequivalence approach. However, due to the small study size, pilot studies are inarguably more sensitive to variability. The aim of this work is to propose alternative approaches to the average bioequivalence methodology, in a way to overcome and reduce the uncertainty on the conclusions of these studies and on the potential of test formulations. Several scenarios of pilot BA/BE crossover studies were simulated through population pharmacokinetic modelling. Each simulated BA/BE trial was analysed using the average bioequivalence approach. As alternative analyses, the centrality of the test-to-reference geometric least square means ratio (GMR), bootstrap bioequivalence analysis, and arithmetic (A
