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

This study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet of telmisartan/rosuvastatin/ezetimibe/amlodipine 80/20/10/5 mg and a loose-dose combination (LDC) of two FDC tablets, ezetimibe/rosuvastatin 10/20 mg and telmisartan/amlodipine 80/5 mg, in healthy Korean male subjects. This study was conducted as a randomized, open-label, two-sequence, four-period crossover study. The subjects received the FDC or the LDC of telmisartan, rosuvastatin, ezetimibe, and amlodipine twice, with a 21-day washout in each period. Each sequence was composed of either FDC/LDC/FDC/LDC or LDC/FDC/LDC/FDC in that order. Serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected up to 48 h after rosuvastatin dosing and 72 h after telmisartan, ezetimibe, and amlodipine dosing. The PK parameters were calculated by a noncompartmental method, and safety profiles were evaluated throughout the study. Fifty-four healthy Korean male subjects were enrolled, and 42 subjects completed the study. The concentration‒time profiles of telmisartan, rosuvastatin, ezetimibe, and amlodipine were similar between the FDC and LDC groups. For each compound, the geometric mean ratios (90% confidence intervals) of the peak concentration and area under the plasma concentration‒time curve of FDC to LDC were within the conventional bioequivalence criteria of 0.8-1.25. Both the FDC and LDC treatments were well tolerated and determined to be safe. The FDC and LDC treatments with telmisartan, rosuvastatin, ezetimibe, and amlodipine showed pharmacokinetic bioequivalence, indicating that the FDC of telmisartan/rosuvastatin/ezetimibe/amlodipine 80/20/10/5 mg can be used as an alternative to the LDC treatment.
