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

objectiveThis multicenter, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial investigated the efficacy and safety of the selective neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R) antagonist GS1-144 for moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS).

methodsEligible participants aged between 40 and 64 years randomly (1:1:1:1) received GS1-144 30 mg once daily (QD), 60 mg QD, or 30 mg twice daily (BID) and placebo for 12 weeks. Co-primary endpoints were the mean change in the frequency and severity of moderate-to-severe VMS from baseline to weeks 4 and 12.

resultsAmong 276 randomized participants, 271 (98.2%) and 258 (93.5%) completed 4 and 12 weeks of treatment, respectively. VMS frequency was significantly reduced versus placebo for GS1-144 30 mg BID at week 4 (difference in change in least squares mean -1.31 [90% CI: -2.35 to -0.26], P =0.04) and week 12 (-1.41 [-2.28 to -0.54], P =0.008), and for GS1-144 60 mg QD at week 12 (-1.42 [-2.28 to 0.55], P =0.007). GS1-144 30 mg BID and 60 mg QD significantly reduced VMS severity versus placebo at week 4 (-0.14 [-0.26 to -0.01], P =0.07; -0.13 [-0.26 to -0.01], P =0.07) and week 12 (-0.24 [-0.43 to -0.05], P =0.04; -0.19 [-0.38 to 0.00], P =0.098). Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 67.6% (140/207) of participants who received GS1-144 and 62.3% (43/69) in the placebo group. No liver safety risks were observed with GS1-144.

conclusionsGS1-144 is well tolerated and significantly reduces VMS frequency and severity in postmenopausal Chinese women.
