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

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) has been transformed from a fatal disease to a treatable condition following the introduction of GS-441524, a nucleoside analogue targeting feline coronavirus replication. However, the widespread use of unregulated compounded formulations and the absence of validated analytical tools for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) represent critical gaps in clinical FIP management. This study describes the development and full ICH M10-compliant validation of a high-throughput LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of GS-441524 in feline serum, incorporating an automated protein precipitation protocol and a PBS-BSA surrogate matrix in accordance with 3Rs principles. The method met all acceptance criteria across validated parameters, including linearity (0.1-50 µg/mL), accuracy (bias within ±12.5%), precision (CV ≤ 10.9%), selectivity, extraction recovery (87.5-107.9%), and stability under clinically relevant storage conditions. Matrix equivalence between PBS-BSA and authentic feline serum was confirmed, enabling routine calibration without animal-derived materials. The validated method was applied to clinical TDM in cats undergoing GS-441524 treatment for FIP, providing preliminary evidence of inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability. The compounded formulations administered to the TDM cohort were independently verified by LC-MS/MS, confirming drug content within ±15% of labelled claims and excluding pharmaceutical quality as a confounding factor in the interpretation of serum drug concentrations.
