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

aimsThe aim of this phase 1 trial was to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of balcinrenone (previously AZD9977) in participants with severe renal impairment vs. those with normal renal function.

methodsParticipants with severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 30 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsThe total apparent balcinrenone clearance was 50% lower in the severe renal impairment group, resulting in an approximately two-fold higher area under the curve (AUC) and a 1.4-fold higher maximum observed plasma concentration in the severe renal impairment group compared with the control group. The terminal half-life and plasma protein binding were similar in both groups. Balcinrenone was safe and well tolerated in all participants. All reported adverse events were of mild-to-moderate severity and not considered related to balcinrenone.

conclusionsBalcinrenone exposure was approximately two-fold higher in participants with severe renal impairment compared with the group-matched control participants. Based on linear regression analysis of total apparent balcinrenone clearance vs. baseline eGFR, the AUC exposure is predicted to be <50% higher in patients with an eGFR of 20 mL/min/1.73 m
