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

The human sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a hepatic bile acid transporter. Inhibition of NTCP uptake may potentially also prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The first objective was to develop a quantitative pharmacophore for NTCP inhibition. Recent studies showed that hepatotoxic drugs could inhibit bile acid uptake into hepatocytes, without inhibiting canalicular efflux, and cause bile acid elevation in plasma. Hence, a second objective was to examine whether NTCP inhibition is associated with drug induced liver injury (DILI). Twenty-seven drugs from our previous study were used as the training set to develop a quantitative pharmacophore. From secondary screening from a drug database, six retrieved drugs and three drugs not retrieved by the model were tested for NTCP inhibition. Tertiary screening involved drugs known to cause DILI and not cause DILI. Overall, ninety-four drugs were assessed for hepatotoxicity and were assessed relative to NTCP inhibition. The quantitative pharmacophore possessed one hydrogen bond acceptor, one hydrogen bond donor, a hydrophobic feature, and excluded volumes. From 94 drugs, NTCP inhibitors and non-inhibitors were approximately equally distributed across the drugs of most DILI concern, less DILI concern, and no DILI concern, indicating no relationship between NTCP inhibition and DILI risk. Hence, an approach to treat HBV via NTCP inhibition is not expected to be associated with DILI.
