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

purposeThe purpose of this study is to quantify the contribution of individual UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) enzymes involved in the glucuronidation of icenticaftor, which is primarily glucuronidated in the human liver to two distinct glucuronide metabolites that are ultimately excreted in the urine.

methodsThe formation of icenticaftor-glucuronide in recombinant UGT systems was scaled with relative activity factor (RAF) of involved UGT enzymes to determine the fraction glucuronidation in human liver.

resultsScaling of the glucuronidation activity of UGT enzymes in recombinant UGT systems demonstrated that hepatic UGT1A9 contributed to about two-third of the overall icenticaftor glucuronidation while the remaining was accounted by UGT2B7. Moreover, the predicted UGT-mediated clearance of icenticaftor, upon scaling the intrinsic clearance (CL

conclusionCollectively, current data are indicative of the utility of activity-based scalars to predict fraction glucuronidation and clearance of icenticaftor in the clinic. UGT1A9 is identified as the major UGT enzyme in the glucuronidation of icenticaftor in human liver.
