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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveMosliciguat is the first soluble guanylate cyclase activator designed for dry powder inhalation. It is currently under development for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension; the inhaled route of administration delivers the drug to the pulmonary vasculature with the aim of improving pulmonary hemodynamics. We conducted three phase I trials in healthy male volunteers to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of mosliciguat, focusing on lung deposition after inhalation with a low-resistance device in a lactose carrier-based dry powder formulation.

methodsStudy 1 was a randomized, open-label, four-way crossover study (Part 2) comparing the pharmacokinetics of mosliciguat by inhalation (1000 μg), inhalation (1000 μg) with charcoal block, in oral solution (1000 μg), and intravenously (100 μg). (The oral and intravenous doses were selected in Part 1 of the study.) Study 2 was an 8-day, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose escalation study of once-daily inhaled mosliciguat (480, 1000, and 2000 μg). Study 3 was a 2-week, multiple-dose, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind study of once-daily inhaled mosliciguat 1000 μg.

resultsIn Study 1 (Part 2) the absolute bioavailability of inhaled mosliciguat was 18.8% without charcoal block and 16.3% with charcoal block. The absolute bioavailability of oral mosliciguat was 23.1%. Pharmacokinetic parameters showed low-to-moderate inter-subject variability. Time to maximum plasma concentration (t
