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

Background: To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and safety of tolvaptan in healthy Chinese males. Methods: Three separate clinical trials were carried out on healthy Chinese males aged 18-45 years. Fifty received a single dose of tolvaptan of 7.5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 mg. In addition, 36 received multiple doses of 7.5, 30 and 60 mg once a day for 7 days. The primary outcomes measured were the PK parameters of tolvaptan and its two metabolites (DM-4103, DM-4107). Secondary endpoints included serum electrolytes, urine volume and water intake, which were monitored as pharmacological indicators. The safety profile was also evaluated in detail. Results: After the administration of a single dose of tolvaptan, dose proportionality was observed for the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from 7.5 mg to 120 mg, but not for the maximum plasma concentration (C Conclusion: Tolvaptan demonstrated good tolerability and efficacy after single doses up to 120 mg and multiple doses up to 60 mg per day for 7 days. Dose proportionality was observed for AUC from 7.5 mg to 120 mg, but not for C Clinical Trial Registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov/, identifier NCT07166796, NCT07166783 and NCT07166887.
