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

This review summarizes current knowledge on the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical application of the most commonly used diuretics in children. Diuretics are frequently prescribed drugs in children. Their main indication is to reduce fluid overload in acute and chronic disease states such as congestive heart failure and renal failure. As with most drugs used in children, optimal dosing schedules are largely unknown and empirical. This is undesirable as it can potentially result in either under- or over-treatment with the possibility of unwanted effects. The pharmacokinetics of diuretics vary in the different pediatric age groups as well as in different disease states. To exert their action, all diuretics, except spironolactone, have to reach the tubular lumen by glomerular filtration and/or proximal tubular secretion. Therefore, renal maturation and function influence drug delivery and consequently pharmacodynamics. Currently advised doses for diuretics are largely based on adult pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies. Therefore, additional pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies for the different pediatric age groups are necessary to develop dosing regimens based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models for all routes of administration.
