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

objectiveOur objective was to study the effects of gemfibrozil on the pharmacokinetics of pioglitazone and the active compounds, which are all the substrates of CYP2C8 and CYP3A4.

methodsIn a randomized, two-phase crossover study, 10 healthy volunteers were pretreated for 2 days with either 600 mg oral gemfibrozil or placebo twice daily. On day 3, they received a single dose of 600 mg gemfibrozil or placebo, and 1 h later they received a single oral dose of 30 mg pioglitazone. Plasma concentrations of pioglitazone and both active metabolites M-III and M-IV were measured for up to 120 h.

resultsGemfibrozil raised the mean total area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of parent pioglitazone 3.4-fold (P<0.001). No statistically significant changes were seen in the total AUC of M-III or M-IV after gemfibrozil pretreatment. Gemfibrozil reduced the M-III/pioglitazone and M-IV/pioglitazone AUC(0-infinity) ratio by 71% (P<0.001) and 65%(P<0.001), strikingly prolonging their t((1/2)).

conclusionGemfibrozil greatly increased the plasma concentration of parent pioglitazone and also inhibited the further metabolism of M-III and M-IV. Careful blood glucose monitoring and dosage adjustments are suggested during coadministration of pioglitazone and gemfibrozil.
