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

The effect of obesity on the shape of drug disposition curves was explained using the residence time concept without assuming well-mixed compartments. The mean (MDRT) and relative dispersion (RD2(D)) of disposition residence time of drug were predicted as function of percentage body fat by lumping the organs into fat and nonfat tissues, utilizing the fact that MDRT and RD2(D) act as a scale and shape parameter of disposition curves, respectively. The longer sojourn time of lipophilic drugs in adipose tissue leads to an increase in RD2(D) when the fraction of body fat increases. This explains the change in the shape of disposition curves observed in obese patients, where the increase in MDRT is accompanied by a proportionately great prolongation of the terminal half life. The model also predicts a decrease in whole body distribution clearance with increasing residence time dispersion (RD2(D)).
