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

Three methods for estimation of the equilibrium tissue-to-plasma partition ratios (Kp values) in the presence of tissue concentration time data have been investigated. These are the area method, the open loop (tissue specific) method and the whole body model(closed loop) method, each with different model assumptions. Additionally, multiple imputations, a technique for dealing with deficiencies in data sets (i.e., missing tissues) is used. The estimated Kp values by the three methods have been compared and the limitations and advantages of each approach drawn. The area method, which is essentially model free, gives only a crude estimate of Kp without making any statement of its uncertainty; whereas both the open and closed loop methods provide an estimate of this. The closed loop method, where the most assumptions are made, is the approach that gives the best overall estimates of Kp, which was confirmed by comparing the predicted concentration-time profiles with experimental data. Although the estimates from the closed loop method, as well as the other two methods, are conditioned on the data, they are the most reliable for both propagating parameter variability and uncertainty through a whole body physiologically based model, as well as for extrapolation to human. A series of benzodiazepines, namely alprazolam, chlordiazepoxide, clobazam, diazepam, flunitrazepam, midazolam and triazolam in rat is used as a case study in the current investigation.
