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

We present model-informed selection of the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of investigational oral ATR inhibitor tuvusertib, by integrating clinical pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety data from DDRiver Solid Tumors 301 trial Part A1 (NCT04170153). A population PK (POPPK) model was developed to characterize PK and hemoglobin (HGB) reduction after multicycle treatment was simulated using a semi-mechanistic, multivariate POPPK/PD model of reticulocyte (RET), red blood cell (RBC), and HGB dynamics. A semi-mechanistic PK-efficacy model characterized concentration-dependent tumor growth inhibition (TGI) in ARID1A mutant xenograft models. The clinical exposure-PD relationship was described for phosphorylated Ser-139 residue of the histone variant H2AX (γH2AX) as a biomarker of ATR inhibition. POPPK simulations predict the average steady-state concentrations to exceed phosphorylated checkpoint kinase 1 (pCHK1) IC
