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

Inhibitory drug metabolites may contribute to drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The aim of this study was to determine the importance of inhibitory metabolites of itraconazole (ITZ) in in vivo cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibition. The pharmacokinetics of ITZ and midazolam (MDZ) were determined in six healthy volunteers in four sessions after administration of MDZ with and without oral ITZ. After doses of 50, 200, and 400 mg of ITZ, the clearance of orally administered MDZ decreased by 27, 74, and 83%, respectively. The in vivo half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) for ITZ ranged from 5 to 132 nmol/l in the six subjects. The metabolites of ITZ were estimated to account for ~50% of the total CYP3A4 inhibition, with the relative contribution increasing with time after ITZ dosing. Of the total of 18 interactions observed, 15 (84%) could be predicted within a twofold error margin, with improved accuracy observed when ITZ metabolites were included in the predictions. This study shows that the metabolites of ITZ contribute to CYP3A4 inhibition and need to be accounted for in quantitative rationalization of ITZ-mediated DDIs.
