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: Ralinepag is an oral, potent, highly selective prostacyclin receptor agonist and is in development for pulmonary arterial hypertension. Ralinepag was formulated as an immediate-release (IR) capsule, later modified to an extended-release (XR) tablet to optimize administration for once-daily dosing. Methods: This phase I study evaluated the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and relative bioavailability of ralinepag XR. There were two cohorts of healthy participants ( Results: The ralinepag XR formulation showed a reduced maximum observed concentration (C Conclusion: Ralinepag XR has a half-life suitable for once-daily dosing. The reduced C
