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

backgroundThe use of two or more drugs carries the potential risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs), which may result in adverse reactions. Some human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients who receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) may require general anesthesia with propofol (PRL) before undergoing surgical treatment. Both PRL and ART drugs may lead to neuronal dysfunction, which can be accompanied by energy metabolism disorders. Neurons take in glucose mainly through glucose transporter 3 (Glut3) which is specifically expressed on the cell membranes of neurons. However, to date, no study has examined whether the DDIs of PRL and ART drugs interfere with glucose metabolism and Glut3 expression in neurons.

methodsAn in vitro model was constructed using the primary cultures of neurons. PRL and ART drugs (EFV, AZT, and 3TC), were added at different concentrations (low, medium, and high). The neurons were exposed to the drugs for 1, 4, 8, and 12 h. The optimal drug concentration and exposure time were selected. The cellular survival rate, glucose concentration, electrophysiology, and the expression of Glut3 were detected.

resultsThere were no significant changes in the cellular survival rates of the neurons that were exposed to both PRL and ART drugs at low concentrations for 1 h. However, the survival rates of the neurons decreased significantly as the drug concentrations and durations increased. The glucose concentration of the neurons that were exposed to both PRL and the ART drugs was significantly decreased. The glucose concentration of the neurons was not affected by any individual drug. The amplitude of the action potential and the expression of Glut3 were decreased in the neurons that were exposed to both PRL and ART drugs.

conclusionsThe main adverse reactions induced by the DDIs between PRL and the ART drugs were decreased glucose metabolism and neuronal damage, which were caused by inhibiting the expression of Glut3. More importantly, we found that decreases in glucose metabolism predated neuronal damage.
