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

Atenolol, a β1-adrenergic receptor blocker, is administered orally and its intestinal absorption has recently been indicated to be mediated by carrier protein and reduced markedly by ingestion of some fruit juices, such as apple and orange juices. This could be postulated to be a problem arising from the interaction of some components of fruit juices with atenolol at a transporter involved in its intestinal uptake, but the responsible transporter and its interacting components have not been identified yet. In an attempt to examine that possibility, we could successfully find that human organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1/SLC22A1), which is suggested to be expressed at the brush border membrane of enterocytes, is highly capable of transporting atenolol. In this attempt, OCT1 was stably expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney II cells and the specific uptake of atenolol by the transporter was found to be saturable, conforming to the Michaelis-Menten kinetics with the maximum transport rate (
