Effects of High-cholesterol Diet on Pravastatin Disposition in the Perfused Rat Liver.
Article in European journal of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectivesVarious nutrients modulate the expression of transporters; however, the effect of a high-cholesterol (HC) diet on the expression and function of hepatic transporters remains unclear. Here, we examined the effects of an HC diet on drug disposition via hepatic transporters, including organic anion-transporting polypeptide (Oatp), multidrug resistance-associated protein (Mrp), and bile salt export pump (Bsep).
methodsIn situ perfused rat liver system was performed. The levels of pravastatin, which is taken up into hepatocytes by Oatp and excreted into bile by Mrp2, in the perfusate and in bile were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography.
resultsPravastatin was rapidly eliminated in control and HC rats; however, the cumulative amounts of excreted in bile were significantly higher in HC rats than in controls possibly because of the enhanced bile flow in HC rats (0.93 ± 0.05 μL/min in control, and 1.22 ± 0.18 μL/min in HC). Real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blot assessment of the mRNA and protein levels of hepatic transporters showed a significant downregulation of the Oatp1a1 and Bsep proteins in HC rats, whereas no differences in Mrp2 and Mrp3 levels were observed between HC and control rats. The analysis of the localization of Mrp2 on the canalicular membrane by immunofluorescence showed no changes in HC rats, although Mrp2 was readily internalized from the canalicular membrane under specific conditions.
conclusionsThe findings of the present study indicate that the HC diet affected the biliary excretion of pravastatin concomitant with increased bile flow, despite minimal effects on the expression of hepatic transporters. The HC diet could promote the biliary excretion of other drugs and metabolites that are substrates of Mrp2 and Bsep.
