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 and pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) modeling aims to understand how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, excreted, and acts in a human or animal body. The Simcyp Simulator is a well-known commercial PBPK/PD simulation software offering many options. It can, for example, use multiple compounds and population specification files to study the behavior of specific drug formulations in particular population groups. Such features can greatly speed up and optimize clinical research and drug development studies. On the other hand, the statistical coding language R offers benefits, such as easy scripting, automation, flexible statistical analyses, and visualization of results. These benefits can be applied to PBPK modeling. We describe here version 23.0.64 of an R software package that can run the Simcyp Simulator from R, changing its inputs and processing its outputs. We detail the implementation of two automated workflows for model development and verification. The first demonstrates the verification of a drug-drug interaction model for Atazanavir, an antiretroviral drug indicated for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. The second is applied to the virtual bioequivalence assessment of paliperidone palmitate long-acting injectable suspensions. We show how simulations that could take days otherwise can be executed, analyzed, and displayed in a matter of hours.
