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

Although carbamazepine is one of the oldest anticonvulsant drugs, it is still heavily utilized for treatment of epilepsy in children. The aim of this article was to review the current knowledge about pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of carbamazepine in children. The literature for this review was systematically searched for in the MEDLINE and SCINDEKS databases. Oral bioavailability of carbamazepine in children is about 75-85%, and it is approximately 75-85% bound to plasma proteins. Apparent volume of distribution is 1.2-1.9 l/kg and total clearance between 0.05 and 0.1 l/h/kg. Pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine in children is age and body weight dependent and highly variable due to influence of dosing regimen and co-medication. The current evidence on the importance of pharmacogenetics for carbamazepine efficacy and safety in children supports the association of PXR*1B, HNF4a rs2071197, CYP1A2*1F, ABCC2 1249G>A, and PRRT2 c.649dupC with either pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of carbamazepine. The importance of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing for prediction of adverse drug reactions to carbamazepine in children is also confirmed. Both genetic and environmental factors are responsible for shaping pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of carbamazepine in children. To ensure safe and effective use of carbamazepine in this population, physicians should adjust dosing regimen according to existing pattern of genetic and environmental influences.
