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

Grapefruit juice is a well-established inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, but its effects on other CYP enzymes or organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are not fully characterized in humans. Recently, lingonberry powder was shown to induce murine CYP enzymes. We investigated the effects of lingonberry powder and grapefruit juice on seven CYP enzymes and two OATPs. Eleven healthy volunteers received three pretreatments three times per day: water for 1 day (control), lingonberry powder for 9 days, and grapefruit juice for 3 days. CYP index drugs (caffeine/CYP1A2, bupropion/CYP2B6, repaglinide/CYP2C8, flurbiprofen/CYP2C9, omeprazole/CYP2C19, dextromethorphan/CYP2D6, midazolam/CYP3A4, and simvastatin/CYP3A4) were administered orally on the study day of each pretreatment (day 1, 10, and 3, respectively). Venous blood samples were collected until 23 hours postdose. The concentrations of index drugs, their metabolites and endogenous OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 biomarkers glycochenodeoxycholate 3-O-glucuronide (GCDCA-3G) and glycochenodeoxycholate 3-sulfate (GCDCA-3S), respectively, were quantified. Grapefruit juice expectedly increased the AUC
