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

Levodopa and benserazide tablets (LBTs) are a combined preparation of levodopa (L-DP), a dopamine precursor, and benserazide (BZ), a peripheral dopa decarboxylase inhibitor, used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, which predominantly affects middle-aged and elderly individuals. This study employed a single-center, randomized, open-label, two-formulation, three-period, three-sequence, partially replicated (reference formulation only) clinical study design to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of the test and reference formulations of LBT administered orally to 96 healthy Chinese subjects under fasting or fed conditions. After fasting for at least 10 h and abstaining from water for 1 h, subjects received one tablet of either the test or reference formulation with 240 mL of warm water on Days 1, 8, and 15 of the study, either in the fasting state or 30 min after starting a high-fat meal. Plasma drug concentrations were determined using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. The 90% confidence intervals of the geometric mean ratios for the pharmacokinetic parameters C
