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

Delayed or missed doses are unavoidable in clinical practice and remain as a challenge that threatens a patient's health and quality-of-life, especially in the pharmacotherapy of chronic disease treatment. Unfortunately, information or guidance concerning the management of delayed or missed doses is scarce, precluding clinicians or clinical pharmacologists from instructing patients in a precision dosing manner. It is therefore urgent to develop remedial strategies to inform patients of alternative dosing regimens in compensation for the loss of efficacy due to delayed or missed doses and minimize unintended clinical consequences. Studies aiming to establish remedial regimens have been conducted since the 1980s for oral contraceptives and antihypertensive agents, using the controlled substitution of placebos for active medications. However, it appeared to be unethical in many areas of pharmacotherapy due to deliberately discontinuing or restarting the medication. Alternatively, pharmacometric modeling and simulation offers an opportunity to investigate the effect of various non-adherence scenarios on pharmacokinetic profiles and establish the optimum remedial dosing regimen in a time-effective and systematical way. This review provides a general overview of procedures and strategies on how to develop remedial dosing regimens based on pharmacometric approaches through the scrutiny of case examples in the literature.
