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

objectivesRhizoma coptidis extract and its alkaloids were reported to exhibit various pharmacological activities. However, pharmacokinetics investigations indicated that the plasma concentrations of the alkaloids were too low to explain their systemic therapeutic actions. Thus, the metabolic profile of Rhizoma coptidis in humans is yet to be fully investigated and the present study aimed to investigate the metabolic profile of Rhizoma coptidis in human urine after oral administration of Rhizoma coptidis extract.

methodsIn this study, the metabolism of Rhizoma coptidis at a clinical dose (5 g/60 kg/day) was investigated using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometry.

resultsTotally, 30 constituents including 7 prototypes, 5 sulfation metabolites and 18 glucuronide conjugates were elucidated and identified on the basis of the characteristics of their high-resolution precursor ions, product ions, and chromatographic retention times in human urine. Among the 7 prototypes, 3 prototypes (M20, M26 and M28) were identified definitely by comparing with standards. Based on the metabolites detected in human urine, a possible metabolic pathway of Rhizoma coptidis in vivo was proposed.

conclusionsThe results demonstrated that the metabolic fate of Rhizoma coptidis mainly involved sulfation and glucuronidation in human urine and the glucuronide conjugate M14 (berberrubinen-9-O-glucuronide) might be a pharmacokinetic marker for Rhizoma coptidis alkaloids in humans. This study will be helpful to comprehensively understand the metabolic process of Rhizoma coptidis and how Rhizoma coptidis shows its pharmacological effects in humans.
