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

introductionThis randomized, open-label, two period, two treatment, fasting bioequivalence trial was conducted to demonstrate the bioequivalence between riluzole tablets manufactured by Jiangsu Enhua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and the reference preparations from Sanofi Winthrop Industry (certified by Sanofi Mature IP) in healthy individuals.

objectiveThe study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters and evaluate the bioequivalence of both preparations when taken on an empty stomach. Additionally, the safety profile of both preparations was assessed in the study population.

methodsSeventy-two subjects participated in the trial and received riluzole tablets once per dosing cycle while fasting. They were randomLy assigned to either a 50-mg test or reference formulation, with a 7-day washout period between cycles. Venous blood samples (4 mL) were collected 22 times from each subject, starting before dosing (0 h) and ending 48 h after. Plasma riluzole concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. This clinical trial has been officially registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Register (accessible at http://www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn/index.htmL ) with the registration number CTR20230637 on March 02, 2023.

resultsThe results showed that the geometric mean ratios of key pharmacokinetic parameters-including the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last nonzero concentration (AUC

conclusionThese findings establish the bioequivalence of the 50-mg test preparation of oral riluzole tablets with the reference listed drug.
