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

The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic profile of a fixed 6-g daily continuous intravenous infusion of ceftazidime was assessed in 20 febrile neutropenic patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Mean steady-state ceftazidime concentrations averaging 40 mg/liter from day 2 on ensured maximized pharmacodynamic exposure (values close to four to five times the MIC breakpoint against Pseudomonas aeruginosa). However, large intra- and interindividual pharmacokinetic variability was documented throughout the study period.
