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

Members of the P450 3A subfamily are the most abundant of the human hepatic cytochromes. CYP3A isoforms mediate the biotransformation of many drugs, including a number of psychotropic, cardiac, analgesic, hormonal, immunosuppressant, antineoplastic, and antihistaminic agents. Activity of CYP3A in humans is variable among individuals, but there is no evidence of genetic polymorphism. Significant amounts of CYP3A are present in the gastrointestinal tract, and may contribute to presystemic extraction of drugs such as cyclosporin. The azole antifungal agents ketoconazole and itraconazole are potent inhibitors of human CYP3A isoforms. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants are also CYP3A inhibitors, but much less potent than ketoconazole or itraconazole. In vitro models can provide important information on the qualitative and quantitative activity of potential inhibitors of human cytochromes. However, in vitro inhibition constant (Ki) values alone do not predict the magnitude of an in vivo interaction, nor whether an interaction will be of clinical importance. For example, SSRIs are predicted to impair clearance of the antihistamine terfenadine in humans. However, the magnitude of this effect is much less than would be associated with a pharmacokinetic interaction of clinical importance.
