Blood Concentration of Cabazitaxel in a Patient Whose General Condition Worsened with Concomitant Use of Clarithromycin.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We encountered a case in which the general condition of a patient receiving cabazitaxel worsened with concomitant use of clarithromycin. Cabazitaxel is metabolized mainly by CYP3A4, and the frequency of adverse events is known to increase with increasing exposure. Although these drugs are not often quantified in daily practice, we quantified them because we considered it possible that the blood concentration of cabazitaxel had increased due to CYP3A4 inhibition of clarithromycin and that cabazitaxel-related adverse events had occurred. However, the concentration of cabazitaxel was not increased and we attributed the patient's deterioration to decreased tolerability of cabazitaxel. At least at a trough concentration of 70 ng/mL, which is the trough concentration when a normal dose of clarithromycin is administered, clarithromycin does not appear to have a significant effect on the blood concentration of cabazitaxel. This case suggests that the administration of the normal dose of clarithromycin might be relatively safe in patients receiving cabazitaxel.
