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.

Abstract

This investigation was designed to evaluate the single-dose pharmacokinetics of itraconazole, hydroxyitraconazole, and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) after intravenous administration to children at risk for fungal infection. Thirty-three children aged 7 months to 17 years received a single dose of itraconazole (2.5 mg/kg in 0.1-g/kg HP-beta-CD) administered over 1 h by intravenous infusion. Plasma samples for the determination of the analytes of interest were drawn over 120 h and analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography, and the pharmacokinetics were determined by traditional noncompartmental analysis. Consistent with the role of CYP3A4 in the biotransformation of itraconazole, a substantial degree of variability was observed in the pharmacokinetics of this drug after IV administration. The maximum plasma concentrations (C(max)) for itraconazole, hydroxyitraconazole, and HP-beta-CD averaged 1,015 +/- 692 ng/ml, 293 +/- 133 ng/ml, and 329 +/- 200 mug/ml, respectively. The total body exposures (area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h) for itraconazole, hydroxyitraconazole, and HP-beta-CD averaged 4,922 +/- 6,784 ng.h/ml, 3,811 +/- 2,794 ng.h/ml, and 641.5 +/- 265.0 mug.h/ml, respectively, with no significant age dependence observed among the children evaluated. Similarly, there was no relationship between age and total body clearance (702.8 +/- 499.4 ml/h/kg); however, weak associations between age and the itraconazole distribution volume (r(2) = 0.18, P = 0.02), C(max) (r(2) = 0.14, P = 0.045), and terminal elimination rate (r(2) = 0.26, P < 0.01) were noted. Itraconazole infusion appeared to be well tolerated in this population with a single adverse event (stinging at the site of infusion) deemed to be related to study drug administration. Based on the findings of this investigation, it appears that intravenous itraconazole can be administered to infants beyond 6 months, children, and adolescents using a weight-normalized approach to dosing.
