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

Ivacaftor is a potentiator of the CFTR chloride channel and is in worldwide clinical use for the chronic treatment of cystic fibrosis in patients. There is evidence that the bioavailability of ivacaftor in the body may be influenced by the multi-drug exporter P-glycoprotein. Here we have employed purified and reconstituted P-glycoprotein to study its interaction with ivacaftor as well as the ability of the drug to compete with a known transported substrate of the protein. We find that ivacaftor stimulates the ATPase activity of the purified protein and can compete with the transport of the fluorescent substrate Hoechst 33342. These findings lead us to conclude that ivacaftor is very likely an efficiently transported substrate of P-glycoprotein. Evidence for state-dependent binding of ivacaftor was obtained using a fluorescent, cysteine-reactive reporter dye. The quiescent, nucleotide-free state in the P-glycoprotein transport cycle appears to bind ivacaftor strongly.
