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

purposeSeveral poorly water-soluble drugs have previously been shown to bind to intestinal (I-FABP) and liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) in vitro. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential role of drug binding to FABPs on intestinal permeability and gut wall metabolism in vivo.

methodsThe intestinal permeability of ibuprofen, progesterone and midazolam (which bind FABPs) and propranolol (which does not) was examined using an autoperfused recirculating permeability model in control rats and rats where FABP levels were upregulated via pre-feeding a fat-rich diet.

resultsThe intestinal permeability of drugs which bind FABPs in vitro was increased in animals where FABP levels were upregulated by prefeeding a high fat diet. The gut wall metabolism of midazolam was also reduced in animals with elevated FABP levels.

conclusionsConsistent with their role in the cellular transport of endogenous lipophilic substrates, FABPs appear to facilitate the intracellular disposition of drug molecules that bind FABPs in vitro. Drug binding to FABPs in the enterocyte may also attenuate gut wall metabolism in a manner analogous to the reduction in hepatic extraction mediated by drug binding to plasma proteins in the systemic circulation.
