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

Objectives: To describe the pharmacokinetics of isoniazid and acetyl-isoniazid in TB/HIV-coinfected patients, and assess the effects of efavirenz co-administration and a 50% increase in the dose of rifampicin on the pharmacokinetic parameters of isoniazid and acetyl-isoniazid. Methods: TB/HIV-coinfected patients participating in the three-treatment-arm RAFA randomized controlled trial conducted in West Africa were recruited into the pharmacokinetics sub-study. Five serial blood samples were collected on a single visit between 4 and 8 weeks after initiation of antituberculosis treatment. Concentration-time data for isoniazid and acetyl-isoniazid were analysed using non-linear mixed-effects models. Results: Isoniazid concentrations from 150 patients were available for analysis, and 79 of these (53%) also had concentrations of acetyl-isoniazid. Isoniazid pharmacokinetics was best described with a two-compartment disposition model with lagged first-order absorption and elimination using a semi-mechanistic model describing hepatic extraction. The model identified two elimination pathways, separating formation of acetyl-isoniazid from other routes of metabolism. The predicted AUC0-24 is reduced by 29% in patients who are fast acetylators of isoniazid and receiving efavirenz-based ART (6.73 versus 4.68 mg·h/L). In slow acetylators, efavirenz-based ART had no effect on isoniazid exposure (AUC0-24 = 17.5 mg·h/L). Conclusions: Efavirenz-based ART affects the acetylation metabolic pathway amongst rapid acetylators, resulting in reduced exposure to isoniazid. Pharmacokinetics of isoniazid and acetyl-isoniazid were not influenced by the 50% increase in rifampicin dose.
