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

Tofacitinib is a potent, selective inhibitor of the Janus kinase (JAK) family of kinases with a high degree of selectivity within the human genome's set of protein kinases. Currently approved formulations for tofacitinib citrate are immediate release (IR) tablets, modified release (MR) tablets and IR solution. A once daily MR microsphere formulation was developed for pediatric patients. Previously, bioequivalence (BE) between the 10 mg once daily (QD) MR microsphere formulation and 5 mg twice daily (BID) IR solution has been established with PBPK virtual BE trials (VBE) in place of a clinical BE trial in healthy adult population. In this research, the PBPK model based VBE approach was extended to pediatric population. Pediatric PBPK model verification was conducted by first examining predicted vs observed demographic information such as body weight (BWT) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). After confirming the alignment in demographic background between clinical study participants vs virtual pediatric subjects, multiple ontogeny profiles for CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 were examined. The established model predicted AUC and C
