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

In Tunisia, bioequivalence studies have been required for generic drug approval since 2008. This study aimed to assess the bioequivalence of vildagliptin and metformin fixed-dose combination (FDC) 850/50 mg for a tested (Bi-Galvine) versus the approved reference products (Galvumet). A randomized, two-way, two-period, single oral dose, open-label, crossover, bioequivalence study with a washout period of 7 days to compare metformin/vildagliptin film-coated tablets in 18 healthy Tunisian subjects aged between 18 and 50 years under fed conditions was conducted at the National Center Chalbi Belkahia of Pharmacovigilance. During each period, 20 blood samples were collected from each subject at pre-dosing (0.00) and between 0.25 and 24.00 h after dosing. The bioequivalence between the test (T) and reference (R) products required 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the geometric least square (LS) mean T/R ratio to be within 80-125% for the pharmacokinetic parameters, maximum plasma concentration (C
