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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveAlmorexant is the first representative of the new class of orexin receptor antagonists, which could become a new treatment option for insomnia. The present study investigated the potential interaction between almorexant and warfarin.

methodsIn this open-label, two-way crossover, drug-drug interaction study, healthy male subjects received, in a randomized fashion, almorexant 200 mg once daily for 10 days and a single dose of 25 mg warfarin co-administered on day 5 (treatment A) and a single dose of 25 mg warfarin on day 1 (treatment B). Serial blood samples for warfarin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were drawn during both treatments.

resultsOf the 14 enrolled subjects, one withdrew due to an adverse event and 13 completed the study. Almorexant had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of warfarin. The geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) for the area under the plasma concentration-time curve to infinity (AUC0-∞) of S- and R-warfarin were 0.99 (0.89, 1.09) and 1.05 (0.95, 1.16), respectively, and for the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) were 0.99 (0.86, 1.14) and 1.00 (0.88, 1.13), respectively. The main pharmacodynamic variable was the AUC for the international normalized ratio (AUCINR). Almorexant had no effect on this variable as demonstrated by a geometric mean ratio of 0.99 (0.82, 1.19). Secondary pharmacodynamic variables including maximum effect (Emax), the time to the maximum INR, and factor VII plasma concentrations were also not affected by almorexant.

conclusionNo dose adjustment of warfarin is necessary when concomitantly administered with almorexant.
