Neonatal cholestasis is associated with cytochrome P450 1A2 detoxification defect: A single center pilot study.

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
backgroundEvidence supports that biliary atresia (BA) in Egyptian infants is an aflatoxin-induced cholangiopathy acquired perinatally in infants with glutathione S-transferase M1 deficiency: The Kotb disease BA variant. This inability to detoxify aflatoxins leads to progressive inflammatory adhesions and obliterative cholangiopathy early in life.
aimTo investigate the cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) detoxification enzyme levels in neonates with confirmed BA.
methodsThis prospective descriptive analytical study estimated CYP1A2 detoxification enzyme levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 20 neonates with confirmed BA. The level CYP1A2 was also estimated in a control group of 20 infants with neonatal hepatitis (NH) and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy infants.
resultsThe mean age at enrollment in the study was 2.16 ± 0.58 months, 2.51 ± 1.05 months and 1.9 ± 0.81 months for the BA, NH and control group (
conclusionSignificantly low serum CYP1A2 was frequent among infants with BA and NH compared to the control group. The low serum CYP1A2 compromises the detoxification ability of neonates with cholestasis and may alter the pharmacokinetics of commonly used drugs. Careful consideration to drug dosing and toxicity risk should be given to those neonates. Further research on drug pharmacokinetics and detoxification in neonates with cholestasis is recommended.
