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

Background: Fibrosis is an excessive self-repair response affecting organs like the liver and lungs. Current treatments targeting local fibroblasts have significant adverse events (AEs). BS1801 is an organoselenium compound targeting thioredoxin reductase with anti-fibrotic activities. This Phase I study evaluated its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) in healthy Chinese adults. Methods: This single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 57 participants into single-dose (n=27) and multiple-dose (n=30) trials (placebo-to-drug ratios 1:3 and 1:4). Single doses of 450, 900, 1200, and 1800 mg were tested; multiple doses of 300, 450, and 600 mg twice daily (12±0.5h apart) were investigated. Results: All participants completed the study. Thirty-six treatment-emergent AEs were reported, including 14 in 9 participants (20%, 95% CI: 8.3-31.7%) in single-dose, and 22 in 11 participants (24.4%, 95% CI: 11.9-37.0%) in multiple-dose trials. All AEs were Grade I and resolved naturally; one constipation case required medication. Using BS1801-M2 as a surrogate biomarker, PK parameters increased proportionally with single doses (450-1800 mg): T Conclusion: BS1801 is safe and well-tolerated at tested doses. Based on safety and PK profiles, the recommended dosage is 300-450 mg twice daily. Further clinical studies are needed for evaluating the safety and efficacy of BS1801 in the target population.
