Population Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modeling of Methylprednisolone in Neonates Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
Trial report in CPT: pharmacometrics & systems pharmacology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Methylprednisolone is used in neonates to modulate cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced inflammation, but optimal dosing and exposure are unknown. We used plasma methylprednisolone and interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 concentrations from neonates enrolled in a randomized trial comparing one vs. two doses of methylprednisolone to develop indirect response population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic models characterizing the exposure-response relationships. We applied the models to simulate methylprednisolone dosages resulting in the desired IL-6 and -10 exposures, known mediators of CPB-induced inflammation. A total of 64 neonates (median weight 3.2 kg, range 2.2-4.3) contributed 290 plasma methylprednisolone concentrations (range 1.07-12,700 ng/mL) and IL-6 (0-681 pg/mL) and IL-10 (0.1-1125 pg/mL). Methylprednisolone plasma exposure following a single 10 mg/kg intravenous dose inhibited IL-6 and stimulated IL-10 production when compared with placebo. Higher (30 mg/kg) or more frequent (twice) dosing did not confer additional benefit. Clinical efficacy studies are needed to evaluate the effect of optimized dosing on outcomes.
