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

Fludarabine is used as a common component of conditioning regimens for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, knowledge regarding the pharmacokinetic characteristics of once-daily fludarabine dosing in children is limited. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of fludarabine and evaluated its associations with clinical outcomes in paediatric patients. A total of 802 blood samples obtained from 43 paediatric patients who underwent HSCT were included in a population pharmacokinetic analysis using non-linear mixed-effects modelling. The relationships between systemic 9-β-d-arabinofuranosyl-2-fluoroadenine (F-ara-A) exposure derived from the model and the clinical outcome variables were explored. A two-compartment model with proportional residual error adequately described the pharmacokinetics of F-ara-A. The body surface area and glomerular filtration rate were significant covariates for the clearance of F-ara-A. After the first dose of fludarabine at 40 mg/m
