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

The comparative performances of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and allometric scaling for predicting the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of large molecules in pediatrics are unknown. Therefore, both methods were evaluated for accuracy in translating knowledge of infliximab PKs from adults to children. PBPK modeling was performed using the base model for large molecules in PK-Sim version 7.4 with modifications in Mobi. Eight population PK models from literature were reconstructed and scaled by allometry to pediatrics. Evaluation data included seven pediatric studies (~4-18 years). Both methods performed comparably with 66.7% and 68.6% of model-predicted concentrations falling within twofold of the observed concentrations for PBPK modeling and allometry, respectively. Considerable variability was noted among the allometric models. Therefore, pediatric clinical trial planning would benefit from using approaches that require predictions depending on the specific question i.e., PBPK modeling and allometry.
