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

aimsIn this study the influence of first-line antimalarial drug artemether-lumefantrine on the pharmacokinetics of the antiretroviral drug nevirapine was investigated in the context of selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a cohort of adult HIV-infected Nigerian patients.

methodsThis was a two-period, single sequence crossover study. In stage 1, 150 HIV-infected patients receiving nevirapine-based antiretroviral regimens were enrolled and genotyped for seven SNPs. Sparse pharmacokinetic sampling was conducted to identify SNPs independently associated with nevirapine plasma concentration. Patients were categorized as poor, intermediate and extensive metabolizers based on the numbers of alleles of significantly associated SNPs. Intensive sampling was conducted in selected patients from each group. In stage 2, patients received standard artemether-lumefantrine treatment with nevirapine, and intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was conducted on day 3.

resultsNo clinically significant changes were observed in key nevirapine pharmacokinetic parameters, the 90% confidence interval for the measured changes falling completely within the 0.80-1.25 no-effect boundaries. However, the number of patients with trough plasma nevirapine concentration below the 3400 ng ml

conclusionsThis approach highlights additional increase in the already existing risk of suboptimal trough plasma concentration, especially in extensive metabolizers when nevirapine is co-administered with artemether-lumefantrine.
