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

aimsVutiglabridin (HSG4112) is a novel drug under clinical development for antiobesity treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and safety of vutiglabridin after multiple oral administrations in healthy Korean female and obese subjects and explore short-term pharmacodynamic (PD) responses.

methodsTwo separate randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies were conducted in healthy female and obese subjects. The subjects in each dose group (480 or 720 mg) received vutiglabridin or placebo once daily for 14 days under fed conditions at an 8:2 ratio. Serial blood samples were collected on days 1 and 14 for PK analysis. PD biomarkers related to obesity and inflammation were assessed, and safety and tolerability were evaluated throughout the study.

resultsAt steady state, obese subjects exhibited a 9%-13% higher maximum concentration (C

conclusionsVutiglabridin presented higher peak plasma concentrations but lower systemic exposure in obese subjects than in healthy females. Additionally, a modest downward trend in body weight was observed in obese subjects relative to healthy female subjects. These findings support further long-term phase II clinical trials.
