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

objectiveAmiodarone (AMD) is one of the most effective drugs for rhythm control of atrial fibrillation. The use of AMD is also associated with adverse effects in multiple tissues. Both the parent compound and its major metabolite desethylamiodarone (DEA) contribute to the drug's therapeutic and toxic action. The present study aimed to build a whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for AMD and DEA in rats.

methodsPharmacokinetic data from multiple studies were collected. Some of the data were pooled together to develop the PBPK model; others were used to evaluate the model. Development of the model also involved in vitro to in vivo extrapolation based on in vitro metabolism data.

resultsThe final model consisted of 11 tissue compartments, including therapeutic target organs and those to which AMD and DEA may be harmful. Model simulations were in good agreement with the observed time courses of the drug-metabolite pair in tissues, under various dosing scenarios. The key pharmacokinetic properties of AMD, such as extensive tissue distribution, substantial storage in the fat tissue, and long half-lives in many tissues, were closely reflected.

conclusionThe developed PBPK model can be regarded as the first step towards a PBPK-pharmacodynamic model that can used to mechanistically evaluate and explain the high adverse event rate and potentially to determine which factors are the primary drives for experiencing an adverse event.
