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

Hepatic in vitro biotransformation assays, in combination with in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) and bioaccumulation modeling, can be used to support regulatory bioaccumulation assessments. In most applications, however, these methods ignore the possibility of extrahepatic metabolism. Here we evaluated intestinal biotransformation in rainbow trout using S9 fractions prepared from the upper intestinal (GIT) epithelium. Measured levels of activity determined using standard substrates for phase I and phase II biotransformation enzymes were within 2-fold of activities measured in hepatic S9 fractions. In vitro intrinsic clearance rates for 2-ethylhexyl-4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC; an organic sunscreen agent) and two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pyrene [PYR] and benzo(a)pyrene [BAP]) were significantly higher in liver S9 fractions than in GIT S9 fractions. For octocrylene (OCT; a second sunscreen agent), however, in vitro intrinsic clearance rates were higher in GIT S9 fractions compared to liver S9 fractions. An existing 'liver only' IVIVE model was expanded to consider biotransformation in both the liver and GIT. Relevant IVIVE scaling factors were developed by morphological, histological, and biochemical evaluation of trout intestines. For chemicals biotransformed at higher rates by hepatic S9 fractions (i.e., BAP, PYR, EHMC), the 'liver & GIT' model yielded whole-body biotransformation rate constants (k
