Trial report in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Eleven HIV-infected men participated in a randomized, two-treatment, two-period crossover study to determine the effect of a 25 g protein meal on zidovudine pharmacokinetics. On two separate occasions, 1 week apart, each patient received 200 mg zidovudine in a fasting state or immediately following the protein meal. A protein meal significantly decreased Cmax [532 (228 s.d.) vs 802 (452 s.d.) ng ml-1, P = 0.004] and increased mean residence time (138 (26 s.d.) vs 114 (26 s.d.) min, corrected for lag times, P = 0.001). However, AUC, tmax, terminal half-life and renal clearance were not significantly altered (P greater than 0.05). The power to detect a 20% change in AUC was 98% at the 5% significance level. In contrast to fat-containing foods, protein-based meals may not alter the extent of zidovudine absorption.
