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

Introduction: SB12 demonstrated equivalence to reference eculizumab (ECU) in complement inhibitor-naïve patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) in the previous randomized, double-blind, multi-national, crossover, Phase III study. Methods: The scope of this post-hoc study was subgroup analysis by race to compare the efficacy and safety of SB12 and ECU in PNH patients in the Asian and Non-Asian subgroups of the Phase III study. Results: Results including lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), number of units of packed red blood cells and safety as primary and secondary endpoints demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety of SB12 and ECU in Asian and Non-Asian PNH patients, in line with the study results in the overall population. In addition, transfusion avoidance (68.1% for SB12 vs. 72.9% for ECU, Conclusion: In conclusion, this subgroup analysis by race (Asians and Non-Asians) supports comparable efficacy and safety between SB12 and reference eculizumab in global PNH patients including no difference in transfusion avoidance effect.
