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.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the similarity of BAT2606 and mepolizumab, including pharmacokinetic profiles, immunogenicity, and safety, in healthy Chinese men. Methods: This randomized, double-blind, parallel three-arm, single-dose Phase I clinical study enrolled 207 subjects. All subjects enrolled in this study were randomly assigned to receive BAT2606 or mepolizumab (European-sourced Nucala [Nucala-EU] and US-sourced Nucala [Nucala-US]) at a 1:1:1 ratio. In total, 206 subjects received a subcutaneous injection of 100 mg of one of the drugs in this study. Results: The mean drug concentration-time curves were similar among the three groups. The 90% confidence intervals of the geometric mean ratios of maximum concentration and area under the curve from time 0 to infinity were within 80.00%-125.00%. There were no adverse events leading to study discontinuation or death, no serious adverse events, and no local injection-site reactions. The rates of adverse events and treatment-related adverse events were comparable among the BAT2606 (78.3% and 66.7%, respectively), Nucala-US (76.5% and 64.7%, respectively), and Nucala-EU groups (82.6% and 71.0%, respectively). The majority of treatment-related adverse events were grade 1 or 2 in severity based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) were detected in 4 (5.8%), 10 (14.7%), and 10 subjects (14.5%) in the BAT2606, Nucala-US, and Nucala-EU groups, respectively. All subjects with a positive ADA result were negative for neutralizing antibodies. Conclusion: BAT2606 injection was pharmacokinetically bioequivalent to Nucala-US and Nucala-EU in healthy Chinese men. BAT2606 was well tolerated, and its overall safety profile was similar to those of Nucala-US and Nucala-EU. BAT2606 had a numerically lower ADA incidence than Nucala-US and Nucala-EU.
