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

Regorafenib (REG) is a multikinase inhibitor commonly used in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, adverse effects or insufficient efficacy appear frequently due to individual variability of plasma concentration of this drug. This work was designed to develop a validated bioanalytical method enabling the accurate quantification of regorafenib (REG) and its metabolites, regorafenib N-oxide (M-2) and N-desmethyl regorafenib N-oxide (M-5), in plasma, and to assess the impact of trametinib (TRA) on their pharmacokinetic profiles. A quantitative detection method for REG, M-2 and M-5 in rat plasma were developed using UPLC-MS/MS, with regorafenib D3 as an internal standard. This method was subsequently applied to pharmacokinetic and drug-drug interaction studies in rats. The method demonstrated good linearity within the range of 50-8000 ng/mL, 25-2500 ng/mL and 25-175 ng/mL, for REG, M-2 and M-5, respectively. Both intra-day and inter-day precisions and accuracy (CV% and bias%) were less than 15%, and the recovery, matrix effect, and stability met EMA guideline. The method demonstrated high effectiveness in the quantitative determination of REG, M-2, and M-5 in rat plasma. Results showed that after administration of TRA, the C
