Severe hypoglycemia caused by a small dose of repaglinide and concurrent use of nilotinib and febuxostat in a patient with type 2 diabetes.
Article in Diabetology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Repaglinide, an oral hypoglycemic agent, is a short-acting insulin secretagogue. We describe a case, in which an extremely low dose of repaglinide caused severe hypoglycemia and novel drug interactions are suggested. A 71-year-old man with type 2 diabetes was taken to the hospital due to consciousness disorder caused by severe hypoglycemia. He was taking repaglinide 0.25 mg once in the morning with nilotinib 400 mg/day and febuxostat 20 mg/day. Endogenous insulin secretion was not suppressed even in hypoglycemia. Detection of plasma repaglinide 10 h after administration in this case indicates delayed elimination of the agent, which might be derived from reduced hepatocyte uptake due to inhibitory effects of nilotinib on OATP1B1 and reduced oxidation of the agents by inhibitory effects of nilotinib, mainly on CYP3A4 activities, and of febuxostat on CYP2C8 activities. Repaglinide is eliminated by the liver, and is a short-acting insulin secretagogue with a good safety profile in patients with type 2 diabetes complicated by renal impairment, including elderly patients; however, its delayed elimination due to drug-drug interactions should be noted.
