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

PK/PD modelling will play an increasingly important role in drug development, because it will identify key properties of a drug in vivo, allowing the characterization and prediction of the time course of drug effects under physiological and pathological conditions (intensity and duration). It has developed from a descriptive to a mechanism-based approach, taking the relevant processes on the causal path between drug administration and drug effect into account. Recent developments and insights from systems biology and systems pharmacology will provide new information on the complexities of disease associated with the identification of multiple targets for drug treatment. This will give rise to new opportunities of drug combinations, which can only be developed rationally through the appropriate application of dynamical systems-based PK/PD models.
