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

Vatiquinone, a 15-lipoxygenase (LO) inhibitor, is an orally bioavailable small molecule being developed for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia, a disorder characterized by high levels of oxidative stress and dysregulation of energy metabolism. This investigation discusses the results of the food effect and three times a day (TID) dosing schedule studies data. The food effect study showed that absorption is significantly enhanced when vatiquinone was administered with fatty meals, either solid or liquid. Mean vatiquinone area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) values were 22-fold and 3-fold higher in subjects who consumed fatty meals and liquid meals, respectively, compared with subjects who fasted. With fatty meals, the intersubject variabilities appeared lower for AUC. The TID dosing study showed that the typical individual pharmacokinetic concentration profile exhibited 3 peaks on both Day 1 and after multiple dosing on Day 6. Vatiquinone exposures, AUC, and maximum concentration (C
