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

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are a potentially distressing corollary of drug interventions, and may result in discomfort, debilitating illness, or even death. Existing research predominantly considers only a single level of interaction; however, serious health complications may result from multi-pathway DDIs, and so new methods are needed to enable predicting and preventing complex DDIs. This article introduces a novel method for the prediction of DDIs at two pharmacological levels (metabolic and transporter interactions) by means of a rule-based model implemented with Semantic Web technologies. The chemotherapy agent irinotecan is used as a case study for demonstrating the validity of this approach. Mechanistic and interaction data were mined from available sources and then used to predict interactors of irinotecan, including potential DDIs mediated by previously unidentified mechanisms. The findings also draw attention to the profound variation between DDI resources, indicating that clinical practice would see significant value from the development of an evidence-based resource to support DDI identification.
