Semimechanistic Modeling of the Effects of Blast Overpressure Exposure on Cefazolin Pharmacokinetics in Mice.
Article in The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cefazolin is a first-line antibiotic to treat infection related to deployment-associated blast injuries. Prior literature demonstrated a 331% increase cefazolin liver area under the curve (AUC) in mice exposed to a survivable blast compared with controls. We repeated the experiment, validated the findings, and established a semimechanistic two-compartment pharmacokinetic (PK) model with effect compartments representing the liver and skin. We found that blast statistically significantly increased the pseudo-partition coefficient to the liver by 326% (95% confidence interval: 76-737%), which corresponds to the observed 331% increase in cefazolin liver AUC described previously. To a lesser extent, plasma AUC in blasted mice increased 14-45% compared with controls. Nevertheless, the effects of blast on cefazolin PK were transient, normalizing by 10 hours after the dose. It is unclear as to how this blast effect t emporally translates to humans; however, given the short-lived effect on PK, there is insufficient evidence to recommend cefazolin dosing changes based on blast overpressure injury alone. Clinicians should be aware that cefazolin may cause drug-induced liver injury with a single dose and the risk may be higher in patients with blast overpressure injury based on our findings. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Blast exposure significantly, but transiently, alters cefazolin pharmacokinetics in mice. The questions of whether other medications or potential long-term consequences in humans need further exploration.
