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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesNerandomilast, a preferential phosphodiesterase 4B inhibitor, is approved for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and progressive pulmonary fibrosis in some countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of nerandomilast in healthy volunteers through single- and multiple-rising-dose studies, and a human mass balance study evaluating absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

methodsHealthy participants received oral nerandomilast doses ranging from 0.02 mg to 24 mg in the single-rising-dose trial, 1 mg or 6 mg twice daily for 14 days in the multiple-rising-dose trial, and a single oral dose of 18 mg [

resultsNerandomilast was rapidly absorbed postadministration, with peak plasma concentrations occurring between 0.5 and 1.25 h postdose before declining in a multiphasic manner. Nerandomilast exposure increased dose proportionally following single- and multiple-dose administrations. Steady state was reached by day 7 after twice-daily dosing with up to 1.69-fold drug accumulation. Following a single oral dose administration of [

conclusionsNerandomilast exhibited rapid oral absorption, multiphasic elimination profile, dose-proportional exposure, and was excreted via urine and feces.
