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

Evidence-based therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), which may be successfully employed to guide drug therapy in clinical routine, supplies all the information from laboratory determination of a drug concentration in a patient's blood specimen. This value is interpreted first of all in relation to a therapeutic reference range that must be established according to the same rules that are generally accepted for clinical studies aimed to license a new drug. The drug concentration may be furthermore interpreted in reference to a dose-related reference range. Thereby a signal is created to alert for individual abnormalities such as drug/drug interactions, gene polymorphisms that give rise to slow/rapid metabolizers, altered function of the excretion organs liver and kidneys by age and/or disease, compliance problems, a missing pharmacokinetic steady state, and even signal overlay in the laboratory analysis. We return all information available and clinical pharmacological comments to physicians who send specimens to our laboratory.
