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

A whole-body permeability-rate-limited physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for cocaine was developed and adjusted with the pharmacokinetic data from studies with animals and reparametrized scaling to humans with the aim to predict the concentration-time profiles of the drug in blood and different tissues in humans. Estimated time course concentrations could be used as an interpretation tool by forensic toxicologists. The model estimations were compared successfully with pharmacokinetic parameters and time to peak for some effects reported in the literature. Once developed, the PBPK model was employed to predict the time course tissue concentrations reported in previous distribution studies introducing individualizing data. The heart and brain concentrations estimated by the model match adequately with the time and duration of some effects such as chronotropic and psychoactive effects, respectively. This work is the first attempt for employing PBPK modeling as a tool for forensic interpretation. Future modeling of other cocaine metabolite profiles or interaction when co-administered with other substances, such as alcohol, might be developed in the future.
