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

Ethinylestradiol (EE) is a common estrogen used in combined oral contraceptives. CYP3A4 and SULT1E1 are the major enzymes that metabolize EE, while CYP2C9 and UGT1A1 have minor contributions. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) mediated by inhibition or induction of metabolism can adversely impact the safety and efficacy of EE. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was previously developed and extensively verified to predict CYP3A4-mediated DDIs of EE. Recent clinical evidence showed increased EE exposure following coadministration with the SULT1E1 inhibitors etoricoxib and ziritaxestat, highlighting the need to expand the PBPK model to allow for predictions of SULT1E1-mediated DDIs. A PBPK model including SULT metabolism of EE was constructed and the interactions with PBPK models developed for etoricoxib and ziritaxestat were simulated. The observed EE concentrations were within the simulated 95% percentiles for the control and the DDI scenario. The predicted ratios for peak concentration (C
