Comparing Potential Drug-Drug Interactions in Companion Animal Medications Using Two Electronic Databases.
Article in Veterinary sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Multiple-drug prescriptions can cause drug-drug interactions (DDIs), which increase risks associated with healthcare in veterinary medicine. Moreover, many human medicines are used in canine patients under the responsibility of veterinarians and may cause severe problems due to off-label use. Currently, many electronic databases are being used as tools for potential DDI prediction, for example, Micromedex and Drugs.com, which may benefit the prediction of potential DDIs for drugs used in canine. The purpose of this study was to examine different abilities for the identification of potential DDIs in companion animal medicine, especially in canine patients, by Micromedex and Drugs.com. Micromedex showed 429 pairs of potential DDIs, while Drugs.com showed 842 pairs of potential DDIs. The analysis comparing results between the two databases showed 139 pairs (12.28%) with the same severity and 993 pairs (87.72%) with different severities. The major mechanisms of contraindicated and major potential DDIs were cytochrome P450 induction-inhibition and QT interval prolongation. Veterinarians should interpret potential DDIs from several databases with caution and keep in mind that the results might not be reliable due to differences in sensitivity to drugs, drug-metabolizing enzymes, and elimination pathway between animals and humans.
