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 evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of a single dose of luseogliflozin (TS-071), a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, in Japanese children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes, with the goal of informing dose selection for future research. In this multicenter, open-label, parallel-group Phase 1 trial, patients aged 9-17 years received a single oral dose of luseogliflozin at 1.25, 2.5, or 5 mg. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were assessed and compared with existing adult data. In total, 19 patients completed the study. The mean age was 14.3 ± 1.9 years, and the mean body weight was 77.28 ± 25.32 kg. Plasma luseogliflozin concentrations increased in a dose-dependent manner. The maximum plasma concentration and the area under the curve were comparable to those observed in adults. Administration of luseogliflozin at all dose levels resulted in a substantial increase in urinary glucose excretion. No safety concerns emerged from the single-dose administration. Luseogliflozin demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety profiles in pediatric patients, consistent with adult findings. These results support the selection of 2.5- and 5-mg doses for a future Phase 3 pediatric study.
