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

Nicardipine is a calcium channel blocker employed to manage hypertension and angina. It is primarily metabolized in the liver; therefore, hepatic impairment patients may experience drug accumulation, potentially resulting in adverse events. This research aims to design physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model capable of accurately predicting the exposure of nicardipine in healthy individuals as well as hepatic and renal impairment patients. An extensive literature review was conducted to retrieve relevant articles and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of nicardipine, for integration into the PK-Sim
