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

Purpose: To evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of fezolinetant after single-dose and multiple-dose administration of 15, 30, and 60 mg in healthy Chinese women. Patients and Methods: This was a fixed-sequence crossover study in 16 healthy Chinese female subjects, 18-45 years old. All received single doses of fezolinetant 15 mg, 30 mg or 60 mg with a 3-day washout. From Day 10, subjects received multiple doses of 30 mg fezolinetant once-daily for 7 days. PK parameters were obtained during the single- and multiple-dose periods. Safety assessments were based on adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory tests. Results: Fezolinetant exhibited rapid absorption, with median time of the maximum concentration (t Conclusion: Linear PK was confirmed within the dose range of 15 to 60 mg in healthy Chinese women.
