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

aimsThe objectives were to evaluate the effect of CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of flecainide, and also on the extent of drug interaction with paroxetine as a CYP2D6 inhibitor after a single oral administration in healthy subjects.

methodsAn open-label, two-period, single-sequence, cross-over study was performed in 21 healthy Korean male volunteers (seven for CYP2D6*1/*1 or *1/*2, group 1; seven for CYP2D6*1/*10, group 2; seven for CYP2D6*10/*10 or *10/*36, group 3). Subjects were administered 200 mg of flecainide on day 1. After a 7-day wash-out period, subjects were administered 20 mg of paroxetine from day 8 to 14, and 200 mg of flecainide on day 15. Blood sampling was performed up to 72 h after flecainide administration.

resultsTerminal elimination half-life and mean residence time (MRT) were significantly different among three genotype groups after a single oral administration of flecainide (P = 0.021, 0.011, respectively). Area under the concentration-time curve, terminal elimination half-life and MRT increased significantly after paroxetine co-administration only in groups 1 and 2.

conclusionsThis study reports that the extent of drug interaction between flecainide and paroxetine is influenced by the CYP2D6*10 allele in healthy subjects, which is frequent in Asians.
