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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesCitrus flavonoids are not only components of daily nutrition, they are also promoted as dietary supplements and are important ingredients in traditional medicines. Interactions of flavonoids with synthetic drugs represent an often neglected issue. We therefore investigated in vitro whether the polymethoxyflavones nobiletin, sinensetin, and tangeretin and the flavonoid rutinosides didymin, hesperidin, and narirutin can inhibit human organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1, 1B3, and 2B1, which are important transporters mediating drug-drug and food-drug interactions.

methodsInhibition was investigated by quantifying the decreased uptake of the fluorescent OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 substrate 8-fluorescein-cAMP in HEK293 cells overexpressing OATP1B1 or OATP1B3 and of the fluorescent OATP2B1 substrate 4',5'-dibromofluorescein in HEK293 cells overexpressing OATP2B1.

resultsWe demonstrate that all flavonoids investigated inhibit OATP2B1 in the lower micromolar range (IC

conclusionsAll flavonoids investigated might contribute to the intestinal OATP2B1-based interactions with drugs observed with citrus juices or fruits. In contrast, the concentration of the polymethoxyflavones after consumption of citrus juices or fruits is most likely too low to reach relevant systemic concentrations and thus to inhibit hepatic OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, but there might be a risk when they are consumed as medicines or as dietary supplements.
