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.

Abstract

introductionMirikizumab, a p19-directed antibody against interleukin-23 (IL-23), is administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection. Injection site pain (ISP) associated with citrate buffers may negatively affect patient adherence to SC-administered treatments. We assessed the bioequivalence and safety of the citrate-free (CF) and original formulations of mirikizumab.

methodsThe formulations were assessed in three phase 1, two-arm, randomized, single-dose, parallel design studies in healthy participants: study A (NCT04548219), study B (NCT05515601), and study C (NCT05644353). Participants were randomized 1:1 to either formulation, then further randomized to injection site locations of abdomen, arm, or thigh. The relative bioavailability (RBA) study A had a primary objective of assessing the RBA of a single 200 mg dose. Bioequivalence (BE) studies B and C had the primary objective of assessing the BE of a 200 and 300 mg dose, respectively. In all studies, the primary endpoints were C

resultsThe primary objective was met in all studies. The RBA study found no significant difference in exposure between the formulations. BE was demonstrated between CF and original mirikizumab in both BE studies, with the 90% confidence intervals of the ratios of geometric least squares means within the pre-specified equivalence limits of 0.80 and 1.25. The frequency of ISP and injection site reactions (ISRs) was lower for CF than original mirikizumab in all studies. Furthermore, a significant difference in mean VAS score was observed in study A.

conclusionMirikizumab CF and original formulations were bioequivalent. The CF formulation was associated with less pain and fewer ISRs, with no other notable differences in safety profiles.
