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

Flucloxacillin (FLU), an isoxazolyl penicillin, is widely used for the treatment of different bacterial infections in intensive care units (ICU). Being highly bound to plasma proteins, FLU is prone to drug-drug interactions (DDI) when administered concurrently with other drugs. As FLU is binding to both Sudlow's site I and site II of human serum albumin (HSA), competitive and allosteric interactions with other drugs, highly bound to the same sites, seem conceivable. Knowledge about interaction(s) of FLU with the widely used anticancer agents paclitaxel (PAC), imatinib (IMA), and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU is scarce. The effects of the selected anticancer agents on the unbound fraction of FLU were evaluated in pooled plasma as well as in HSA and α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) samples, the second major drug carrier in plasma. FLU levels in spiked samples were analyzed by LC-MS/MS after ultrafiltration. Significant increase in FLU unbound fraction was observed when in combination with PAC and IMA and to a lesser extent with 5-FU. Furthermore, significant binding of FLU to AGP was observed. Collectively, this is the first study showing the binding of FLU to AGP as well as demonstrating a significant DDI between PAC/IMA/5-FU and FLU.
