Pheophorbide A: Fluorescent Bcrp Substrate to Measure Oral Drug-Drug Interactions in Real-Time In Vivo.

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
We investigated whether pheophorbide A (PhA) could serve as a selective breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrate (victim) to screen in vivo using fluorescent live animal imaging for transporter-mediated interactions with orally administered inhibitors (perpetrators), and whether that could be coupled with serum sampling to measure the systemic concentration of PhA with a fast-throughput in vitro fluorescent assay. PhA is a breakdown product of chlorophyll and is highly fluorescent in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum. Whole-body NIR fluorescence was greater in the Bcrp KO compared with wild-type (WT) mice fed a regular diet containing chlorophyll and PhA, with fluorescence in WT mice confined to the intestine. PhA intestinal enterocyte fluorescence, after removing lumen contents, was greater in Bcrp knockout (KO) mice versus WT mice due to PhA enterocyte absorption and lack of PhA efflux by Bcrp. This difference was eliminated by maintaining the mice on an alfalfa (chlorophyll/PhA)-free diet. The area under the fluorescence ratio-time curve up to 6 hours (AUC
