Trial report in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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

aimsTo obtain in vivo evidence for the involvement of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 in the metabolism of brotizolam.

methodsFourteen healthy male volunteers received erythromycin 1200 mg day(-1) or placebo for 7 days in a double-blind randomized crossover manner. On the 6th day they received a single oral 0.5-mg dose of brotizolam, and blood samplings were performed for 24 h.

resultsErythromycin treatment significantly increased the peak plasma concentration (P < 0.05), total area under the plasma concentration-time curve (P < 0.01), and elimination half-life (P < 0.01) of brotizolam.

conclusionsThe present study provides in vivo evidence for the involvement of CYP3A4 in brotizolam metabolism.
