The effect of operational stressors on ibuprofen pharmacokinetics.
Trial report in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2013. 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
purposeTo determine whether two of the major operational stressors associated with military missions in Afghanistan: dry heat and long durations of soldier patrol (SP), alter the pharmacokinetics of ibuprofen.
methodsThirteen healthy and physically fit participants (19-32 years) were randomized to a four-arm crossover study, as follows: Arm 4 consisted of a simulated 2.5 h SP on a treadmill set at 4.5 km/h, 2% incline (15-min walk/5-min rest cycle) in a climatic chamber set to 42°C, 9% relative humidity. Arm 3 was similar to arm 4 but at room temperature, and arms 1 and 2 were sham SP to 3 and 4, respectively. For the final 2.5 h, participants remained in a semi-supine position. Each participant orally administered one 400-mg Advil Liqui-Gel® capsule. Blood samples were drawn over time and analyzed for (R)-ibuprofen and (S)-plasma ibuprofen concentrations using UPLC/MS/MS. Concentration-time data were analyzed by compartmental methods.
resultsExercise significantly decreased the t(1/2abs) (h) of (S)-ibuprofen (0.26 to 0.17; p = 0.015) and T(max) (h) for both (R)-ibuprofen (0.97 to 0.73; p = 0.008) and (S)-ibuprofen (1.13 to 0.84; p = 0.005). Values for t(lag) (h) also decreased with exercise for both (R)-ibuprofen (0.38 to 0.22; p = 0.005), and (S)-ibuprofen (0.39 to 0.23; p = 0.001).
conclusionsExercise stress had a significant impact on the absorption profile of (R)- and (S)-ibuprofen. Excessive self-administration rate and dose may not be due to the military operational stressors of heat and soldier presence patrol.
