Evaluation of Total Body Weight versus Adjusted Body Weight Voriconazole Dosing in Obese Patients.
Article in Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
This retrospective single-center study of a cohort of adult patients who received voriconazole with a steady-state trough concentration measured during therapy evaluated the rate of therapeutic trough attainment using adjusted body weight (AdjBW)-based and total body weight (TBW)-based dosing in overweight and obese patients. Of the 130 patients included, 45 patients received TBW-based dosing and 85 patients received AdjBW-based dosing. Therapeutic trough attainment was significantly improved with AdjBW-based dosing compared to TBW-based dosing (64.7% versus 46.7%;
