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

Piperine has been reported to inhibit the enzyme activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for piperine and to predict potential food-drug interactions (FDIs) between piperine and CYP3A4 substrate drugs using these models. The PBPK model for piperine was successfully developed and validated. Using this model, FDIs with ten CYP3A4 substrate drugs were simulated. The predicted area under the curve (AUC) ratios (with and without piperine, following a 7-day intake of 20 mg/day) for six drugs were found to exceed 1.25, with significant increases in AUC observed for ritonavir (31%), nifedipine (34%), cyclosporine (35%), triazolam (36%), alfentanil (39%), and simvastatin (59%) in humans. These findings suggest that caution should be exercised when consuming amounts of black pepper equivalent to a daily intake of 20 mg piperine during treatment with CYP3A4 substrate drugs, as it may significantly alter their pharmacokinetics.
