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

The traditional approach for model-based initial dosing is based on the use of a single vector of typical population parameters for targeting a specific exposure. This approach is theoretically ill-suited for targeting a range of exposure. The objective of this work was to develop a general approach for optimal (OPT) targeting of a drug exposure interval. After methodological purposes, we applied our method to the busulfan case. We used a nonparametric population pharmacokinetic model of intravenous busulfan to estimate the individual pharmacokinetic parameters of 163 bone marrow-transplanted children. Then, an array of 151 doses of busulfan ranging from 0.5 to 2 mg/kg was simulated a priori in each patient. For each dose, 29 possible busulfan plasma concentration profiles, corresponding to the nonparametric prior, each associated with a probability, were obtained. The multiple-model-based, OPT dose was identified as the dose maximizing the a priori probability of achieving the busulfan target area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). Two AUC targets were considered: 900-1500 (conventional) or <1500 µM min
