Relationship between loperamide-induced sedative effect and digoxin pharmacokinetics in healthy Japanese subjects.

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.
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
purposeLoperamide-induced suppressive effects on central nervous system closely relate to a lack of or decline in the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function. The aim of this study was to determine the loperamide-induced sedative effect quantitatively and to investigate possible alterations in the pharmacokinetics of digoxin, a substrate for P-gp, in Japanese subjects.
methodsLoperamide hydrochloride (2 mg) was administered orally to 26 subjects and the critical flicker-fusion frequency threshold (CFF) values were measured every 30 min separately by portable instrument. Further, digoxin (0.25 mg) was administered to 8 subjects, and the plasma concentration was determined.
resultsIn five subjects who complained of drowsiness, the CFF values more remarkably decreased compared with those in the other subjects. The Tmax and mean residence time (MRT) values of digoxin pharmacokinetics in four subjects with drowsiness were significantly lower and Cmax was higher than those in four subjects with marginal effect. Moreover, there were good correlations between the CFF value-time profile and the Cmax, Tmax, and MRT of digoxin.
conclusionsThe determination of the CFF value after oral administration of loperamide will be useful for evaluating varied P-gp function and for anticipating individual variations in the disposition of P-gp substrates in humans.
