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

Several interactions between antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been described in the literature, and it has been reported that hyperlipidaemia induces significant changes in cefalosporin levels. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in the levels of several cefalosporins in the serum and mandible after ibuprofen co-administration in hyperlipaedemic rats. One hundred and forty male Wistar rats were used and divided in 4 groups (A-D), each of which was further divided into 5 subgroups (1-5), either with placebo or with various treatment regimes. The co-administration of NSAIDs led to increased cefalosporin levels in both control and hyperlipidaemic animals. Hyperlipidaemia was also found to augment cefalosporin levels. These observed increases might be due to the displacement of the cephalosporins from their binding sites in serum albumin and tissue proteins in the presence of ibuprofen. NSAIDs showed a greater binding affinity for tissue proteins compared to the cephalosporins, and probably play an antagonistic role in protein binding, resulting in higher concentrations of antibiotics.
