Synthesis in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01289496 (Ribavirin Dose Optimization for the Treatment of Hepatitis C), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

aimA population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using plasma concentration data (n = 7025) from 380 patients to examine the relationship between ribavirin dose and its pharmacokinetics.

methodsRibavirin pharmacokinetics were described by a three-compartment model with sequential zero-order and a first-order absorption processes. Interoccasion variability and food effects were included.

resultsLean body weight (range 41-91 kg) was the only covariate with a clinically significant influence on ribavirin pharmacokinetics, affecting clearance (15.3-23.9 l h(-1)) and the volume of the larger peripheral compartment.

conclusionThe model provided a good description of the available data, confirmed by accurate estimates of parameter values and low residual variability (17%).
