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

purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of gadopiclenol in Japanese healthy volunteers. A population-based pharmacokinetic approach was used to compare pharmacokinetic parameters with a non-Japanese adult population. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I study, Japanese healthy volunteers were randomized to receive gadopiclenol (at 0.025, 0.05, or 0.1 mmol/kg) or a placebo. Blood and urine samples were collected up to 24- and 48-h post-administration, respectively. The pharmacokinetic profile of gadopiclenol was evaluated using standard non-compartmental analysis. Adverse events (AEs) were collected during the whole study period.

resultsOverall, 27 participants were randomized (median [range] age: 22 [20-43] years; 52% male): 18 received gadopiclenol (6 in each dose group), and 9 received the placebo. The mean systemic exposure of gadopiclenol increased proportionally with the injected dose (area under the curve [AUC]: 215-1034 μg/mL.h) and was comparable between the three dose groups when normalized to dose (AUC/dose: 182-189 μg/mL/g.h) and to non-Japanese (168-183 μg/mL.h). The mean terminal half-life (1.43-1.86 h), and the distribution volume (11.3-15.2 L) were also similar to those of non-Japanese healthy volunteers (1.50-1.73 h and 13.0-15.5 L, respectively). The mean fraction of gadopiclenol excreted in urine was between 87 and 95%, depending on the administered dose. Most of gadopiclenol (median of 95.7%) was excreted within 24 h after administration. The mean total clearance was comparable between the different administered doses (5.3-5.6 L/h) and similar to the mean renal clearance. No gadopiclenol-related AEs were reported.

conclusionsThe pharmacokinetic profile of gadopiclenol is similar in Japanese and non-Japanese healthy volunteers. The population pharmacokinetic analysis showed no significant ethnic disparities between these two populations and suggested that no dose adjustment was required for Japanese patients. Gadopiclenol had a very good tolerability in Japanese healthy volunteers with no adverse reactions reported.
