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

objectiveGinkgo leaf tablet (GLT) is an effective traditional Chinese multi-herbal formula, which is often combined with amlodipine for treating senile hypertension in clinic. The aim of this study was to study the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine after oral administration of amlodipine and GLT and to investigate the potential for pharmacokinetic herb-drug interactions between GLT and amlodipine in rats.

methodsA liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analytical method was developed for quantification of amlodipine in rat plasma. The accuracy, precision, linearity, selectivity and recovery were all within an acceptable range. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to two groups: amlodipine group and amlodipine + GLT group. Plasma concentrations of amlodipine were determined at the designated time points after oral administration by using the developed LC-MS/MS method, and the main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and compared. As ginkgolides A, ginkgolides B, bilobalide, quercetin and kaempferol were the main components of GLT, the effects of these ingredients in GLT on metabolism of amlodipine were further investigated in rat liver microsomes.

resultsThe pharmacokinetic parameters, maximum plasma concentration (C

conclusionsThese results suggested that these components in GLT inhibit the metabolism of amlodipine. So it can be speculated that the herb-drug interactions between GLT and amlodipine resulted from inhibiting the metabolism of amlodipine by GLT when they were co-administered.
