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

purposeThis study aimed to predict the presence and mechanism of busulfan drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using pharmacokinetic interaction (PKI) network-based molecular structure similarity and network pharmacology.

methodsLogistic function models were established to predict busulfan DDIs based on the assumption that an approved drug tends to interact with the drug used in HSCT (DH) if structurally similar to the drugs in the PKI network of the DH. The PKI network of the DH represented the association between drugs and the proteins related to the PK of the DH. The most appropriate model was applied to predict busulfan DDIs in HSCT. Candidate targets for busulfan DDIs and their interacting were identified by network pharmacology.

resultsSix of the top ten predicted busulfan DDIs were clinically relevant and involved voriconazole, fludarabine, itraconazole, cyclophosphamide, metronidazole, and melphalan. Candidate targets for these DDIs were CYP450s (3A4, 2B6, 2C9, and 2C19), GSTs (GSTA1, GSTP1, GSTT1, and GSTM1), and ABC transporters (ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2, and ABCC3), in the targets of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). The networks of interacting proteins and candidate targets indicated the regulatory potential of pregnane X receptor (PXR), as a nuclear receptor. Enrichment analysis showed the metabolism of drugs and xenobiotics, glutathione metabolism, and bile secretion associated with busulfan DDIs and DILI.

conclusionsThis study has successfully predicted busulfan DDIs in HSCT through PKI-based molecular structure similarity. The mechanism of busulfan DDI and DILI was attributed mostly to CYP450s, GSTs, and ABC transporters, and PXR was identified as a potential target.
