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

purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the NONMEM prior functionality compared to a full Bayesian method when applied to population physiological models using diazepam as a case study.

methodsWhole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (WBPBPK) models for diazepam were initially developed, tested and calibrated for rats and man using a full Bayesian analysis as implemented in WINBUGS: . The final models were implemented in NONMEM and the results from the two analyses compared in terms of parameter estimates, measures of parameter precision and run times.

resultsNONMEM population parameter estimates were in close agreement with those produced by the Bayesian analysis although there was a substantial shortening of run time for both the animal WBPBPK model (4.5 vs. 21 h) and human WBPBPK models (2 vs. 167 h). The adequacy of the model and the final parameter estimates were judged to be sufficient by the model's ability to describe individual tissue concentration-time profiles. The model provided a good overall description of the plasma concentration-time data in both rat and man with comparable parameter precision. A limited nonparametric bootstrap (n = 50) was performed to assess parameter sensitivity, bias and imprecision. No systematic bias was seen when comparing bootstrap means to final parameter estimates.

conclusionsThe ease of implementation and reductions in run time hopefully provide a further step forward in allowing the wider use of these complex and information-rich models together with clinical data in the future.
