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

Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, a cornerstone of model-informed drug development and model-informed precision dosing, simulates drug disposition in the human body by integrating physiological, biochemical, and physicochemical parameters. While PBPK modeling has advanced globally since the 1970s, China's adoption of this technology has followed a distinctive path, characterized by accelerated growth over the past 2 decades. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of China's contributions to PBPK modeling, addressing knowledge gaps in publication trends, application domains, and platform preferences. A systematic literature search yielded 266 original PBPK research articles from PubMed up to August 08, 2024. The analysis revealed that drug disposition and drug-drug interaction studies constitute the largest proportion of PBPK analyses in China. Chinese universities and hospitals emerge as the leading contributors to PBPK research among institutions in China. Although established commercial PBPK platform such as GastroPlus and Simcyp remain popular within the Chinese pharmaceutical industry, open-source platforms like PK-Sim are gaining significant traction in PBPK applications across China. This review underscores the transformative potential of PBPK modeling in drug development within China, offering valuable insights into future directions and challenges in the field.
