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

Rabeprazole is a highly variable drug for which demonstration of bioequivalence is often challenging, and CYP2C19 genotype and sex have been suggested as potential contributors to pharmacokinetic variability. We evaluated the pharmacokinetics, bioequivalence (BE), and tolerability of a generic rabeprazole formulation compared with the reference product in healthy Korean participants using an open-label, randomized, single-dose, two-sequence, four-period replicated crossover design with a scaled average BE (SABE) approach. Exploratory subgroup analyses according to CYP2C19 genotype and sex were also performed. Fifty-two participants received single 20 mg doses under fasting conditions, and 46 completed the trial. BE was evaluated using SABE and conventional average BE (ABE), with subgroup analyses by genotype and sex. Geometric mean ratios (GMRs) of the test to reference formulations were within the BE acceptance range under ABE and SABE approaches. The reference formulation showed high intra-CV in maximum plasma concentration (C
