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

Purpose: To assess safety and ocular hypotensive efficacy of VVN539 ophthalmic solution in a first-in-human study. Design: Multicenter, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled, dose-response, parallel-comparison study. Participants: Sixty-eight subjects with ocular hypertension (OHT) or open-angle glaucoma enrolled at 5 private practices. Methods: After washout of ocular hypotensive medications as required, the subjects were randomized to receive either VVN539 ophthalmic solution 0.02%, 0.04%, or vehicle once-daily (QD) in the morning (5 days), once-daily in the evening (6 days) and then twice-daily (6 days). Main Outcome Measures: Comparison of VVNM539 to its vehicle in mean intraocular pressure (IOP) at each diurnal time point (8:00am, 10:00am, and 4:00pm) at visit 4 (day 7), visit 5 (day 14), and visit 6 (day 21). Results: Mean IOP decreased throughout dosing in the active groups to between 18 and 20 mmHg in both active groups, to between 22 to 23 mmHg in the vehicle group. VVN539 0.04% was statistically superior to vehicle at all 9 diurnal time points (QD AM, QD PM, and twice daily, P ≤ 0.0109). VVN539 0.02% was statistically superior to vehicle at only 6 of 9 diurnal time points (selected QD times and twice daily). The most common ocular treatment-emergent adverse event was conjunctival hyperemia (11 [47.8%], 10 [4.5%], and 1 [4.3%]), followed by ocular hyperemia (3 [13.0%], 5 [22.7%] and 0), respectively. There were no clinically significant changes of note in visual acuity, biomicroscopy, dilated ophthalmoscopy, blood chemistry, hematology, or cardiovascular measures. Conclusions: In conclusion, the results of this initial phase II study indicate that VVN539 ophthalmic solution showed clinically and statistically significant ocular hypertensive activity and was relatively well tolerated for the treatment of subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma or OHT. Additional studies will be required for a more complete evaluation of the utility of VVN539 ophthalmic solution.
