Renal excretion of apricitabine in rats: ex vivo and in vivo studies.
Article in European journal of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Apricitabine (ATC) is a novel nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor undergoing phase 2/3 clinical development for the treatment of HIV infection. In this investigation, the renal handling of ATC was evaluated in the isolated perfused rat kidney (IPK) model with follow-up in vivo studies. IPK experiments were performed to characterize the renal excretion of ATC, to probe mechanisms of ATC excretion using known inhibitors of organic cation (cimetidine) and organic anion (probenecid) transport systems, and to screen for potential drug-drug interactions between ATC and clinically relevant medications (dapsone, metformin, pentamidine, stavudine, tenofovir and ritonavir). ATC demonstrated net tubular secretion in the IPK with a baseline excretion ratio (XR) of 2.1 ± 0.56. ATC XR decreased 3.6-fold in the presence of cimetidine and 2-fold in the presence of probenecid. Among the clinically relevant medications, metformin produced the greatest inhibitory effect on ATC excretion. In vivo studies were conducted in rats to evaluate ATC disposition upon co-administration with compounds that showed a significant effect on ATC clearance in the IPK model. Co-administration of cimetidine and trimethoprim significantly reduced ATC renal clearance, but resulted in only a moderate increase in plasma exposure. Metformin had no apparent effect on ATC clearance in rats. These findings indicate that the IPK model is more sensitive to secretory inhibition as compared to in vivo. The medications screened showed minimal effects on ATC renal excretion in the IPK, and should thus be excluded as potential in vivo interactants. Overall, this study generated important information on renal handling of ATC to support its development and commercialization.
