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

introductionPDX-02 (Flurbiprofen sodium) is a topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug in gel formulation for local analgesia and anti-inflammation. A Phase I clinical trial was conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of PDX-02 gel in Chinese healthy adults.

methodsThe trial comprised three parts: (1) a single-dose ascending study with three dose levels (0.5%, 1% to 2% PDX-02 gel) applied on a 136 cm

resultsA total of sixty participants completed the trial, with all adverse events recovered and all positive skin reaction being transient and recovered. The overall absorption of topical PDX-02 gel was slow with a mean peak time exceeding 9 h. The elimination rate remained consistent between dose groups. A less-than-dose-proportional nonlinear pharmacokinetics relationship was observed within the studied dose range, and this is likely due to the autoinduction of skin first-pass metabolism.

conclusionThe topical PDX-02 gel showed favorable safety and tolerability in both single and multiple dosing studies, with a less-than-dose-proportional nonlinear pharmacokinetics observed.
