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

purposeMidostaurin, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. This midostaurin drug-drug interaction study assessed the dynamic response and clinical usefulness of urinary 6β-hydroxycortisol to cortisol ratio (6βCR) and plasma 4β-hydroxycholesterol (4βHC) for monitoring CYP3A4 activity in the presence or absence of rifampicin, a strong CYP3A4 inducer.

methodsForty healthy adults were randomized into groups for either placebo or treatment with rifampicin 600 mg QD for 14 days. All participants received midostaurin 50 mg on day 9. Midostaurin plasma pharmacokinetic parameters were assessed. Urinary 6βCR and plasma 4βHC levels were measured on days 1, 9, 11, and 15.

resultsBoth markers remained stable over time in the control group and increased significantly in the rifampicin group. In the rifampicin group, the median increases (vs day 1) on days 9, 11, and 15 were 4.1-, 5.2-, and 4.7-fold, respectively, for 6βCR and 3.4-, 4.1-, and 4.7-fold, respectively, for 4βHC. Inter- and intrasubject variabilities in the control group were 45.6 % and 30.5 %, respectively, for 6βCR, and 33.8 % and 7.5 %, respectively, for 4βHC. Baseline midostaurin area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) correlated with 4βHC levels (ρ = -0.72; P = .003), but not with 6βCR (ρ = 0.0925; P = .6981).

conclusionsBoth 6βCR and 4βHC levels showed a good dynamic response range upon strong CYP3A4 induction with rifampicin. Because of lower inter- and intrasubject variability, 4βHC appeared more reliable and better predictive of CYP3A4 activity compared with 6βCR. The data from our study further support the clinical utility of these biomarkers.
