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

This article summarizes the post-marketing pharmacovigilance safety data of intravenous (IV) edaravone during the 1- and 3-year periods following its launch for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in the United States. The most frequently reported adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) included those consistent with ALS disease progression, such as fatigue and muscular weakness, and were not qualitatively different from those reported in previous ALS trials. There were AEs and SAEs associated with IV administration, such as administration site reactions, and five non-fatal anaphylaxis SAEs were reported. No new safety signals were identified, and IV edaravone continues to demonstrate a favorable safety profile. These insights are especially useful as treatment transitions to edaravone oral suspension, which avoids IV-related complications. These findings underscore the importance of ongoing clinical safety assessments in informing ALS treatment decisions.
