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

Introduction: Cycloserine is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and clinically important second-line anti-tuberculosis agent. This study assessed the bioequivalence of a test cycloserine formulation versus its reference formulation under fasted and fed conditions. Methods: Using a randomized, open-label, two-period, two-sequence crossover design, 64 healthy Chinese participants were enrolled (63 completed). Subjects received a single 250-mg oral dose of both formulations. Bioequivalence was evaluated using plasma concentration-time profiles and key pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. Statistical analysis employed the Average Bioequivalence (ABE) method. Geometric mean ratios (GMRs) and 90% confidence intervals (90% CIs) for C Results: Both formulations exhibited comparable safety profiles. Discussion: Bioequivalence was established between the test and reference cycloserine capsules under fasted and fed states. Clinical Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn) as (CTR20233940).
