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

introductionReceptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a master regulator of inflammation and necroptotic cell death and is implicated in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. This first-in-human study assessed the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of eclitasertib, a selective, peripherally-restricted, oral inhibitor of RIPK1.

methodsThis 2-part Phase I trial enrolled healthy participants aged 18-55 years. Part 1 consisted of 2 sub-parts. Part 1a was a double-blind, randomized, single ascending dose (SAD) study with 6 cohorts of 8 participants each randomized 3:1 to single oral dose of eclitasertib (10 mg, 30 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg, or 800 mg) or placebo. Part 1b was an open-label, randomized, three-sequence, cross-over design study to evaluate the relative bioavailability of the prototype formulation versus the drug substance and the effect of food in an independent cohort of 10 participants. Part 2 was a double-blind, randomized, multiple ascending dose study (MAD) with 4 cohorts of 10 participants each randomized 4:1 to receive eclitasertib (50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, or 600 mg once daily) or placebo orally for 14 days. Incidence of adverse events (AEs; primary outcome), PK (secondary outcome), and PD properties (exploratory outcome; assessed by reduction in levels of S166 phosphorylated RIPK1) were evaluated.

resultsSingle and multiple oral doses of eclitasertib were well tolerated, with no study drug-related severe or serious AEs reported. Medical device-site reactions (includes AEs classified as device-site reaction, vessel puncture-site hematoma/pain, catheter-site pain/hematoma and catheter-site-related reactions) and headache were the most commonly reported AEs in both parts. Overall, the median T

conclusionsSingle and repeated doses of eclitasertib were well tolerated in healthy participants and potently inhibited RIPK1 activation.
