Cardiovascular Drug Interactions with Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir for COVID-19: Considerations for Daily Practice.
Review in European cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Cardiovascular disease is associated with progression to severe COVID-19 and patients with the condition are among those in whom early antiviral therapy should be warranted. The combination of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid®) has been approved for clinical use by the Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency. Because patients with cardiovascular disease are often on polypharmacy, physicians need to be aware of potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) when treating COVID-19 with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. Guidance is given for avoiding DDIs, emphasising that preventing and managing potential DDIs with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir requires thorough assessment and knowledge. The present review summarises the clinical pharmacology of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and provides details on potential DDIs with a focus on daily practice in patients with cardiovascular disease. Particular attention is needed for drugs that are predominantly metabolised by cytochrome P450 3A4, are substrates of P-glycoprotein and have a narrow therapeutic index. Proper management of potential DDIs must balance the benefit of nirmatrelvir/ ritonavir to prevent severe disease with the risk of serious adverse events.
