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

purposeTrientine dihydrochloride (TETA-2HCl) is an established treatment for Wilson disease. We assessed different dissolution profiles of TETA-2HCl capsules on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of trientine (TETA) and on direct copper (Cu) parameters.

methodsIn this open-label, randomized, two way cross-over study, 24 healthy subjects received two single oral doses of 600 mg TETA-2HCl with a washout of at least one week; one dose with a fast and one dose with a slow dissolution profile. Blood and urine samples were collected up to 48 h for analysis of plasma TETA and its metabolites, N1-acetyltriethylenetetramine (MAT) and N1-N10-diacetyltriethylenetetramine (DAT), serum Cu, ceruloplasmin (Cp) and urinary Cu excretion (UCE). The effect of dissolution profile on the PK was assessed through the ratio of geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and two-sided 90%-confidence intervals (CI) of the fast vs. slow dissolution profile.

resultsThe C

conclusionThe pharmacokinetic profiles of TETA after administration of TETA-2HCl capsules with fast and slow dissolution characteristics were similar. Though the lower 90%-CI for AUC
