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

Effects of different genotypes on the pharmacokinetics of probe substrates may support their use as phenotyping agents for the activity of the respective enzyme or transporter. Digoxin is recommended as a probe substrate to assess the activity of the transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in humans. Current studies on the individual effects of three commonly investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ABCB1 gene encoding P-gp (C1236T, G2677T/A, and C3435T) on digoxin pharmacokinetics are inconclusive. Since SNPs are in incomplete linkage disequilibrium, considering combinations of these SNPs might be necessary to assess the role of polymorphisms in digoxin pharmacokinetics accurately. In this study, the relationship between SNP combinations and digoxin pharmacokinetics was explored via a population pharmacokinetic approach in 40 volunteers who received oral doses of 0.5 mg digoxin. Concerning the SNPs 1236/2677/3435, the following combinations were evaluated: CGC, CGT, and TTT. Carriers of CGC/CGT and TTT/TTT had 35% higher apparent bioavailability compared to the reference group CGC/CGC, while no difference was seen in CGC/TTT carriers. No significant effect on renal clearance was observed. The population pharmacokinetic model supports the use of oral digoxin as a phenotyping substrate of intestinal P-gp, but not to assess renal P-gp activity.
