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

To address the potential correlation between plasma concentrations of venlafaxine (VEN), its active metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODVEN) and the active moiety, AM, (ODVEN + VEN) and adverse drug reactions (ADR) in a large naturalistic sample of in- and outpatients. We compared plasma concentrations of VEN, ODVEN and AM and dose-adjusted (C/D) levels as well the ODVEN/VEN ratios between patients complaining ADRs, following the Udvalg for Kliniske Undersogelser side effect rating scales (UKU) (n = 114) and patients without ADRs (control group, n = 688) out of a naturalistic database. We also investigated potential pharmacokinetic correlates of the four UKU categories by comparing patients complaining ADRs with those who did not. Based on previous literature we applied different ODVEN/VEN ratio values as cut-offs to split our sample into two groups at a time and compare frequencies of ADRs between the groups. No differences for demographic and pharmacokinetic variables including plasma and C/D concentrations as well as ODVEN/VEN ratios were observed between study groups. Neither the comparisons between females and males nor between elderly and non-elderly patients revealed significant differences (p > 0.05 in all cases). No differences were also reported exploring the patients complaining ADRs from the 4 UKU categories separately. After applying various ODVEN/VEN cut-offs, groups did not display differences in frequencies of ADRs (p > 0.05 in all cases). Our findings do not demonstrate a direct link between venlafaxine metabolism measures and ADRs. Therefore, additional dimensions are needed to be considered in future trials aiming to disentangle the involved aspects of ADRs in patients receiving venlafaxine.
