Comparison of pharmacokinetic parameters of ranolazine between diabetic and non-diabetic rats.

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
Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Ranolazine is an antianginal drug that is prescribed in DM patients with angina. We decided to evaluate the effect of DM on the pharmacokinetics of ranolazine and its major metabolite CVT-2738 in rats. Materials and Methods: Male rats were divided into two groups: DM (induced by 55 mg/kg Streptozotocin (STZ)) and non-DM. All animals were treated with 80 mg/kg of ranolazine for 7 continuous days. The blood samples were collected immediately at 0 (prior to dosing), 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 12 hr after administration of the 7th dose of ranolazine. Serum ranolazine and CVT-2738 concentrations were determined using the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a non-compartmental model and compared between the two groups. Results: The peak serum concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) of ranolazine significantly decreased in DM compared with non-DM rats. DM rats showed significantly higher volumes of distribution (Vd) and clearance (CL) of ranolazine than non-DM rats. DM did not affect Ke, Tmax, and T1/2 of ranolazine. The concentration of metabolite was lower than the HPLC limit of detection (LOD). Conclusion: It was found that streptozotocin-induced DM increased Vd and CL of ranolazine, thereby decreasing the AUC of the drug. Therefore, dosage adjustment may be necessary for DM patients, which requires further clinical studies.
