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

backgroundPhase I study to assess the effects of single oral doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/day of sodium tungstate (OXO-001) in healthy women of childbearing age. MATERIALS AND

methodsA randomized, double-blind, dose-finding, and placebo-controlled phase I study was conducted in healthy weight (body mass index [BMI] 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) and overweight (BMI 25 to ≥30 kg/m2) volunteers who received OXO-001 or placebo during a menstrual cycle (maximum 28 days). Data recorded were adverse events (AEs), vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), laboratory tests, pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters, and transvaginal ultrasound.

resultsThirty women were included in the safety analysis, and 29 completed the study. Thirty-eight treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported by 20 participants (15 in the OXO-001 group and 5 in the placebo group). TEAEs were related to OXO-001 administration in 13.2, 10.5, and 15.8% of cases of the 100, 200, and 300 mg doses, respectively. None of the participants discontinued the study, and no serious AEs or deaths were recorded. Differences in TEAEs by BMI were not found. The PK profile showed a fast absorption rate and proportional increases of OXO-001 plasma concentration to increasing doses, suggesting linear PK, with higher concentrations in BMI <25 kg/m2 group higher than in the ≥25 kg/m2 group. There were no relevant changes in vital signs, ECG, ovarian follicle development, endometrial morphology, and laboratory tests before and after the administration of OXO-001 or placebo.

conclusionThe administration of OXO-001 in volunteers of childbearing age was safe and well tolerated, with consistent PK linear profile within doses studied and without detrimental effect on endometrium or ovary-related variables, with similar effects in healthy weight and overweight participants. The maximum studied dose (300 mg/ day) was safe and well tolerated. These data are sufficient to support further clinical trials (registration number: 2016-001276-30).
