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.

2 · The registry

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

Valemetostat tosylate (valemetostat) is an oral, potent, dual inhibitor of enhancer of zeste homolog (EZH) 2 and EZH1 under investigation for the treatment of cancer, including non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and solid tumors. Itraconazole and fluconazole are antifungal medications often used as typical inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A [itraconazole and fluconazole]) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp [itraconazole]) in drug-drug interaction studies. Valemetostat is a substrate of CYP3A and P-gp in vitro. This phase I, open-label, single-sequence crossover study (JapicCTI-183902) assessed the pharmacokinetics (PK) of valemetostat when co-administered with itraconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor and P-gp inhibitor) or fluconazole (a moderate CYP3A inhibitor) in healthy Japanese male participants 20-45 years of age. Participants were equally allocated to receive two doses of valemetostat 25 mg, once alone and once with either itraconazole or fluconazole (400-mg induction and 200-mg once daily maintenance). Valemetostat PK parameters with versus without itraconazole or fluconazole were compared using analysis of variance models. Overall, 32 participants were enrolled. Co-administration with itraconazole increased valemetostat peak concentration (C
