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

Mitiperstat is a myeloperoxidase inhibitor in clinical development for treatment of patients with heart failure and preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction, non-alcoholic steatohepatits and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We aimed to assess the risk of QT-interval prolongation with mitiperstat using concentration-QT (C-QT) modeling. Healthy male volunteers were randomized to receive single oral doses of mitiperstat 5, 15, 45, 135, or 405 mg (n = 6 per dose) or matching placebo (n = 10) in a phase 1 study (NCT02712372). Time-matched pharmacokinetic and digital electrocardiogram data were collected at the baseline (pre-dose) and at 11 time-points up to 48 h post-dose. C-QT analysis was prespecified as an exploratory objective. The prespecified linear mixed effects model used baseline-adjusted QT interval corrected for the heart rate by Fridericia's formula (ΔQTcF) as a dependent variable and plasma mitiperstat concentration as an independent variable. Initial exploratory analyses indicated that all model assumptions were met (no effect on heart rate; appropriate use of QTcF; no hysteresis; linear concentration-response relationship). Model-predicted mean baseline-corrected and placebo-adjusted ΔΔQTcF was +0.73 ms (90% confidence interval [CI]: -1.73, +3.19) at the highest anticipated clinical exposure (0.093 μmol/L) during treatment with mitiperstat 5 mg once daily. The upper 90% CI was below the established threshold of regulatory concern. The 16-fold margin to the highest observed exposure was high enough to mean that a positive control was not needed. Mitiperstat is not associated with risk of QT-interval prolongation at expected therapeutic concentrations.
