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

purposeSerum digoxin concentration (SDC) monitoring may be unavailable in some healthcare settings. Predicted SDC comes into play in the efficacy and toxicity monitoring of digoxin. Renal function is the important parameter for predicting SDC. This study was conducted to compare measured and predicted SDC when using creatinine clearance (CrCl) from Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated from CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), re-expressed Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (Re-MDRD4), Thai-MDRD4, and Thai-eGFR equations in Sheiner's and Konishi's pharmacokinetic models. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this retrospective study, patients with cardiovascular disease with a steady-state of SDC within 0.5-2.0 mcg/L were enrolled. CrCl and studied eGFR adjusted for body surface area (BSA) were used in the models to determine the predicted SDC. The discrepancies of the measured and the predicted SDC were analyzed and compared.

resultsOne hundred and twenty-four patients ranging in age from 22 to 88 years (median 60 years, IQR 50.2, 69.2) were studied. Their serum creatinine ranged from 0.40 to 1.80 mg/dL (median 0.90 mg/dL, IQR 0.79, 1.10). The mean±SD of measured SDC was 1.12±0.34 mcg/L. In the Sheiner's model, the mean predicted SDC was calculated by using the CG and the BSA adjusted CKD-EPI equations and was not different when compared with the measured levels (1.10±0.36 mcg/L (p=0.669) and 1.08±0.42 mcg/L (p=0.374), respectively). The CG, CKD-EPI, and Re-MDRD4 equations were a better fit for patients with creatinine ≥0.9 mg/dL for prediction with minimal errors. In the Konishi's model, the predicted SDC using the CG and the studied eGFR equation was lower than the measured SDC (p<0.05).

conclusionIn Sheiner's model, the CG and the BSA adjusted CKD-EPI equations should be used for predicting SDC, especially in patients with serum creatinine ≥0.9 mg/dL. The other studied eGFRs underestimated SDC in both Sheiner's and Konishi's model.
