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

purposeThe oral bioavailability of some therapeutic agents is markedly lower in cynomolgus monkeys than in humans. We investigated small-intestinal absorption of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates etoposide and digoxin in monkeys to clarify the influence of efflux transport on their intestinal permeability.

methodsThe pharmacokinetics of etoposide and digoxin was examined in monkeys and rats after oral and intravenous administration. Intestinal permeability and segmental differences in permeability were investigated with an Ussing-type chamber.

resultsThe bioavailability of etoposide was 12.9 and 13.9% in monkeys and rats, respectively. Total body clearance of etoposide in monkeys was much less than hepatic blood flow, suggesting that the bioavailability would be limited at intestinal absorption. Marked vectorial transport of etoposide in the secretory direction was observed in rats, especially in the lower small intestine, and segmental differences were consistent with the distribution of P-gp expression. Vectorial transport was minimal in monkey small intestine. Our kinetic analysis indicated that P-gp contributes little to the intestinal permeability of etoposide and digoxin in monkeys, and apical uptake is rate-limiting.

conclusionLow bioavailability of etoposide in monkeys is due to poor intestinal uptake resulting from low influx from the apical side, rather than secretion via P-gp.
