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

contextPsoralen and anastrozole are always used together for breast cancer patients in Chinese clinics.

objectiveThis study investigates the effects of psoralen on the pharmacokinetics of anastrozole in rats and its potential mechanism. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe pharmacokinetics of orally administered anastrozole (0.5 mg/kg) with (test group) or without (Control group) psoralen pretreatment (20 mg/kg/day for 10 days) in male Sprague-Dawley rats (six rats in each group) were investigated. The plasma concentration of anastrozole was determined using a sensitive and reliable LC-MS/MS method. Additionally, the effects of psoralen on the intestine transport and metabolic stability of anastrozole (1 μM) were investigated using a Caco-2 cell transwell model and rat liver microsome incubation systems.

resultsThe results indicated that psoralen could significantly increase the C DISCUSSION AND

conclusionsThis study indicates that when the rats were pretreated with psoralen, the system exposure of anastrozole would be increased significantly. The results showed that the herb-drug interaction between psoralen and anastrozole might occur when they were co-administered, and future studies in humans also need to investigate its herb-drug interaction potential.
