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

Oseltamivir is a prodrug of oseltamivir carboxylate (OC), a neuraminidase inhibitor used for treatment and prevention of influenza. The pharmacokinetics of these 2 compounds were investigated after a single 75-mg oseltamivir dose in 6 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Means ± standard deviations of the area under the curve from time zero to infinity (AUC) were 173 ± 58 μg · h/liter for oseltamivir and 2,256 ± 394 μg · h/liter for OC. The concentrations of OC in sputum 4 to 6 h and 22 to 26 h after the intake ranged from 4.1 to 62.2 μg/liter. The AUC of OC was approximately 30% lower than and significantly different from published values for volunteers. On the basis of the present results and because the anti-A/H1N1 influenza virus efficacy of OC is related to its AUC/50% effective concentration (EC(50)) ratio, an increase in the oseltamivir unitary dose could be considered for the treatment of influenza in CF patients. This should nevertheless be confirmed by a controlled pharmacokinetic study performed on a larger number of patients.
