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.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of a novel anti-nerve growth factor (NGF) monoclonal antibody (mAb) (AK115) in healthy Chinese participants. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation phase I clinical study was conducted as follows: eligible participants were divided into 6 dose groups, among which 0.5 mg group was administrated with AK115 injection and the remaining 5 groups were randomly assigned to AK115 injection or accompanying placebo at a ratio of 3:1. Adverse events (AEs), PKs, PDs, and anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)/neutralizing antibody were monitored throughout the study. Results: A total of 42 participants completed the study. Twenty-seven (64.3%) participants occurred treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs), and 2 (4.80%) participants experienced treatment-related TEAEs. The TEAEs among the different dose groups were comparable. No significant differences were observed between the combined AK115 and the placebo group. It was demonstrated that the median T Conclusion: The favorable safety and tolerability of AK115 in healthy Chinese participants, as well as the predictable PK and PD profiles, will provide sufficient support for future dose exploration studies of AK115 in patients with analgesia. Trial Registration: This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (CTR20220431) and the official website of the US Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, with Clinical Trials. gov (NCT05286970) on March 2022.
