Article in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Dose adjustment in renal insufficiency is generally based on the assumption that renal drug clearance is related linearly to glomerular filtration rate. The theory underpinning this model is the intact nephron hypothesis, which says that impaired renal function is caused by a reduction in the number of complete (intact) nephrons. The purpose of the present commentary is to propose a general empirical model for renal drug handling. We will explore models for renal function under two scenarios: one that aligns with the intact nephron hypothesis, and one that relaxes the assumptions of this hypothesis. We propose that a nonlinear, non-intact nephron model will allow for differences in renal drug handling, while incorporating the intact nephron hypothesis model as a special case.
