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

Fentanyl is widely used for analgesia, sedation, and anesthesia both in adult and pediatric populations. Yet, only few pharmacokinetic studies of fentanyl in pediatrics exist as conducting clinical trials in this population is especially challenging. Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is a mechanistic approach to explore drug pharmacokinetics and allows extrapolation from adult to pediatric populations based on age-related physiological differences. The aim of this study was to develop a PBPK model of fentanyl and norfentanyl for both adult and pediatric populations. The adult PBPK model was established in PK-Sim
