Influence of Renal Function and Age on the Pharmacokinetics of Levofloxacin in Patients with Bone and Joint Infections.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. 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
Despite its efficacy and toxicity being exposure-related, levofloxacin pharmacokinetics in patients with bone and joint infections has been poorly described to date, so the possible need for a dose adjustment is unknown in this population. A prospective population pharmacokinetic study was conducted in 59 patients to answer this question. The final model consisted of a one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination. Mean parameter estimates (% interindividual variability) were 0.895 h
