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

Low-dose combination therapies are recommended when monotherapy fails to control hypertension. This exploratory study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of 2 fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) of telmisartan, amlodipine, and chlorthalidone: half-dose test FDC (20/2.5/6.25 mg) and a conventional-dose reference FDC (40/5/12.5 mg). A randomized, open-label, single-dose, parallel-group study was conducted in healthy participants. Each participant received a single oral dose of either the test or reference FDC. Serial blood samples for telmisartan, amlodipine, and chlorthalidone were collected up to 72 hours post-dose, and PK parameters were calculated using noncompartmental analysis. The mean maximum plasma concentrations (C Trial Registration: Clinical Research Information Service Identifier: KCT0010166.
