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

Remdesivir is an intravenous antiviral approved worldwide for the treatment of COVID-19 in adults and children. Remdesivir, as a prodrug inhibitor of RNA polymerase, undergoes intracellular activation to form the active metabolite along with 2 inactive circulating metabolites, GS-704277 and GS-441524. Based on drug-drug interaction (DDI) risks identified in vitro, three Phase 1 crossover DDI studies were conducted to evaluate remdesivir as a potential (i) object, (ii) inhibitor, or (iii) inducer of enzymes and transporters. As an object of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1/1B3 and P-glycoprotein inhibition (cyclosporine A), remdesivir and GS-704277 exposures increased 2-fold and 3-fold, respectively, while GS-441524 was unchanged. Increased exposures were not clinically relevant as remdesivir and GS-704277 exposures remained transient (approximately 1-h half-life) and were unlikely to affect the formation of the active metabolite. As an object of strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A induction (carbamazepine), exposure changes of remdesivir and its metabolites were not clinically significant. As an inhibitor, single-dose remdesivir did not impact pitavastatin (OATP1B1/1B3 substrate) exposures but increased midazolam (CYP3A substrate) C
