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

aimsThis study aimed to assess changes in the plasma concentrationss of 4β-hydroxycholesterol (4βHC) against intravenous (i.v.) and oral midazolam (MDZ) pharmacokinetics (PK) after administration of a potent CYP3A inhibitor [ketoconazole (KETO)] and inducer [rifampicin (RIF)].

methodsThirty-two healthy subjects (HS) were allocated into three groups of 12 each in KETO and RIF and 10 in a placebo group (PLB). All HS were randomized to receive oral and i.v. MDZ on day 1 or 2 and on day 15 or 16 after receiving RIF (600 mg once daily), KETO (400 mg once daily) or PLB for 2 weeks. Subjects were followed until day 30. The effect of treatments on 4βHC was assessed by analyzing % change from baseline using a linear spline mixed effects model.

resultsCompared with PLB, KETO decreased 4βHC mean values up to 13% (P = 0.003) and RIF increased 4βHC mean values up to 220% (P < 0.001). Within 14 days of stopping KETO and RIF, 4βHC had either returned to baseline (KETO) or was still returning to baseline (RIF). Compared with baseline, mean oral MDZ AUC increased by 11-fold (90% CI ranging from 9-fold to 13-fold increase) and decreased by 92% (90% CI ranging from 90% to 95% decrease) after KETO and RIF, respectively. Similar trends were observed for 6β-hydroxycortisol : cortisol (6βHCL : CL) urinary ratios.

conclusionsChanges in plasma 4βHC can be utilized as a surrogate for MDZ PK after multiple doses of potent CYP3A inducers. There is a more limited dynamic range for 4βHC for assessment of potential CYP3A inhibitors. 4βHC is a valuable tool for the assessment of potential CYP3A inducers in early drug development.
