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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundWe aimed to compare pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles and establish bioequivalence between generic and original pramipexole extended-release (ER) tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers under fasting and fed conditions.

methodsThis investigation consisted of two randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-period, crossover studies. In the first period of each study, a single oral dose (0.375 mg) of the test or reference pramipexole ER tablets was randomly assigned (1:1) to healthy Chinese volunteers. The investigator collected blood samples before and after dosing for up to 72 h and assessed the safety profile. The central laboratory staff, unaware of the study procedures, determined the plasma pramipexole based on a validated LC-MS/MS method. Primary PK endpoints, including peak concentration (C

conclusionFindings in comparative PK profiles suggested bioequivalence between the generic and original pramipexole ER tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers under fasting and fed conditions. Pramipexole ER tablets had a favorable safety profile. CLINICAL

trial registrationThis study was prospectively registered (Registration number: CTR20170248; Date of registration: February 28, 2016) in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registration Platform ( http://www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn ). This trial registry is recognized and regulated by the Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This study was retrospectively registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (Registration Number: NCT07519278; Date of registration: April 2, 2026) in the US ( www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov ). The two PK studies were conducted between March 22, 2017, and June 13, 2017.
