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

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major cause of chronic liver disease in the Western population. We investigated the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes mellitus on CYP3A4 activity in human liver tissue from brain dead donors ( n = 74). Histopathologically graded livers were grouped into normal ( n = 24), nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL, n = 26), and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH, n = 24) categories. The rate of conversion of midazolam to its 1-hydroxy metabolite was used to assess in vitro CYP3A4 activity in human liver microsomes (HLM). A proteomics approach was utilized to quantify the protein expression of CYP3A4 and related enzymes. Moreover, a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed to allow prediction of midazolam concentration in NAFL and NASH livers. CYP3A4 activity in NAFL and NASH was 1.9- and 3.1-fold ( p < 0.05) lower than normal donors, respectively. Intrinsic clearance (CLint) was 2.7- ( p < 0.05) and 4.1-fold ( p < 0.01) lower in donors with NAFL and NASH, respectively. CYP3A4 protein expression was significantly lower in NAFL and NASH donors ( p < 0.05) and accounted for significant midazolam hydroxylation variability in a multiple linear regression analysis (β = 0.869, r
