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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveTelmisartan exhibits significant pharmacokinetic (PK) variability, but it remains unclear whether its PK profile is altered in hypertensive patients. This study aimed to characterize telmisartan PKs by conducting a meta-analysis and developing a pooled population PK model based on data from healthy subjects and hypertensive patients.

methodsRelevant literature was identified by a systematic approach. Eighteen studies were selected for analysis, which included 394 healthy subjects receiving single doses of telmisartan, 190 healthy subjects receiving repeated doses, along with 295 hypertensive patients receiving repeated doses. Pooled population PK analysis incorporated 20 mean concentration-time profiles from 14 studies. Meta-analyses were performed using OpenMeta-Analyst, and population PK modeling was performed using NONMEM

resultsRepeated telmisartan doses increased peak plasma concentrations. However, other noncompartmental PK parameters remained consistent across healthy and hypertensive populations. Telmisartan PKs were best described using a two-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination in pooled analysis. Typical PK parameter values for apparent clearance (CL/F), apparent central and peripheral volumes of distribution (V

conclusionThese findings quantified the variability of telmisartan PK profile and highlighted the differences between healthy individuals and hypertensive patients, suggesting the need for optimized dosage strategies to improve therapeutic outcomes.
