New Insights on the Pharmacokinetics of Ulifloxacin After Administration of Prulifloxacin in Patients with Mild, Moderate and Severe Renal Impairment.
Trial report in Drugs in R&D, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundThe antibacterial agent prulifloxacin, a prodrug of ulifloxacin, is indicated in the treatment of acute lower urinary tract infections, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis and acute bacterial rhinosinusitis.
objectiveWe aimed to provide new insights on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ulifloxacin in patients with different degrees of renal impairment.
methodsA two-site, international, open-label, parallel-group, single- and repeated-dose study was performed. The drug was administered as a single dose of 600 mg to subjects with normal renal function and patients with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment. Subsequently, the same dose was administered daily for 7 days to subjects with normal renal function and patients with mild and moderate renal impairment, while a dose of 300 mg was administered daily for 7 days to patients with severe renal impairment. Plasma and urine ulifloxacin levels were measured. Complete safety evaluation was performed.
resultsExposure to ulifloxacin increased as renal function decreased due to a lower ulifloxacin clearance. Ulifloxacin PK were significantly changed only in patients with severe renal impairment. The amount of ulifloxacin excreted in urine over a 24-h dosing period was similar in subjects with normal renal function and patients with mild impaired renal function, but lower in those with moderate and severe renal impairment.
conclusionOur data show that prulifloxacin is a safe quinolone and is well tolerated in both subjects with normal renal function and patients with impaired renal function, requiring a minimal dosage adjustment only in patients with severe renal impairment.
