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

Epilepsy is one of the most severe neurological disorders in the world, which might seriously endanger the lives of patients. Phenobarbital is an important medicine clinically used for the treatment of epilepsy, and it is irreplaceable in the treatment of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, focal seizures, status epilepticus, and pediatric epilepsy. However, the original research medicine of phenobarbital has not been launched in China. Therefore, an economical and effective generic medicine is of great significance to patients. In this study, a single-center, randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-formulation, two-period, two-sequence crossover design and parallel design were adopted. The phenobarbital tablets produced by Shandong Xinhua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. were used as the test formulation, and Phenobal produced by Fujinaga Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was used as the reference formulation for a bioequivalence study. Additionally, the influence of food on the pharmacokinetic parameters al was investigated. The results showed that the test formulation and the reference formulation were bioequivalent, and food might reduce the C
