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

introductionVesatolimod (VES), a toll-like receptor 7 agonist, is being investigated as part of a strategy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cure. VES is metabolized through the CYP3A pathway and is a substrate of the efflux transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). This study evaluated the impact of coadministration of VES with cobicistat (COBI; a P-gp, BCRP, and strong CYP3A inhibitor) or voriconazole (VOR; a strong CYP3A inhibitor with no effect on transporters) on the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of VES in people with HIV (PWH).

methodsA total of 15 people with virally suppressed HIV on antiretroviral therapy received 2 mg VES (on day 1 in period 1, day 2 in period 2, and day 3 in period 3), 150 mg COBI once daily for 5 days in period 2, and 400 mg VOR on day 1 and 200 mg twice daily on days 2-6 in period 3. Blood samples were collected to measure VES PK, expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), cytokine/chemokine levels, and immune-cell phenotyping.

resultsCoadministration of VES with VOR did not impact VES PK. In contrast, coadministration of COBI increased VES maximum plasma concentration (C

conclusionsVES was well tolerated when administered alone or in combination with COBI or VOR in PWH. Coadministration of COBI, but not VOR, increased plasma VES concentrations, suggesting that inhibition of transporters (P-gp and/or BCRP) may have a greater impact on VES PK than inhibition of the drug-metabolizing enzyme (CYP3A).
