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.

Abstract

backgroundActivities of hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) are relevant for hepatic clearance of drugs and known to be decreased in patients with liver cirrhosis. Several studies have reported the effect of liver cirrhosis on CYP activity, but the results are partially conflicting and for some CYPs lacking.

objectiveIn this study, we aimed to investigate the CYP activity in patients with liver cirrhosis with different Child stages (A-C) using the Basel phenotyping cocktail approach.

methodsWe assessed the pharmacokinetics of the six compounds and their CYP-specific metabolites of the Basel phenotyping cocktail (CYP1A2: caffeine, CYP2B6: efavirenz, CYP2C9: flurbiprofen, CYP2C19: omeprazole, CYP2D6: metoprolol, CYP3A: midazolam) in patients with liver cirrhosis (n = 16 Child A cirrhosis, n = 15 Child B cirrhosis, n = 5 Child C cirrhosis) and matched control subjects (n = 12).

resultsWhile liver cirrhosis only marginally affected the pharmacokinetics of the low to moderate extraction drugs efavirenz and flurbiprofen, the elimination rate of caffeine was reduced by 51% in patients with Child C cirrhosis. For the moderate to high extraction drugs omeprazole, metoprolol, and midazolam, liver cirrhosis decreased the elimination rate by 75%, 37%, and 60%, respectively, increased exposure, and decreased the apparent systemic clearance (clearance/bioavailability). In patients with Child C cirrhosis, the metabolic ratio (ratio of the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h of the metabolite to the parent compound), a marker for CYP activity, decreased by 66%, 47%, 92%, 73%, and 43% for paraxanthine/caffeine (CYP1A2), 8-hydroxyefavirenz/efavirenz (CYP2B6), 5-hydroxyomeprazole/omeprazole (CYP2C19), α-hydroxymetoprolol/metoprolol (CYP2D6), and 1'-hydroxymidazolam/midazolam (CYP3A), respectively. In comparison, the metabolic ratio 4-hydroxyflurbiprofen/flurbiprofen (CYP2C9) remained unchanged.

conclusionsLiver cirrhosis affects the activity of CYP isoforms differently. This variability must be considered for dose adjustment of drugs in patients with liver cirrhosis. CLINICAL
