Influence of the Obesity Phenotype on the Adequacy of Antibiotic Prophylaxis with Cefoxitin for Obese Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: Lessons Learnt and Future Considerations.
Article in European journal of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesA high inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetic parameters in obese patients is observed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of obesity parameters on the pharmacokinetics of cefoxitin administered for antibiotic prophylaxis during bariatric surgery.
methodsThis a secondary analysis of a pharmacokinetic study involving 174 obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery and receiving a 4-g dose of cefoxitin. Blood samples were collected at incision and wound closure. The total plasma concentrations were assessed utilising a validated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic target was defined as an estimated free concentration of cefoxitin at the time of wound closure >8 mg/L. Specific evaluated obesity parameters were fat body mass, fat body mass/height
resultsA total of 174 patients (median age 47 years) with a majority of women (75.3%) and a median BMI of 44 kg/m
conclusionObese patients with a higher lean mass and a metabolic syndrome could constitute a subgroup at risk for cefoxitin under-dosage.
