Estimation of the Difference in Colistin Plasma Levels in Critically Ill Patients with Favorable or Unfavorable Clinical Outcomes.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
In recent decades, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has led to an increased use of therapeutic alternatives. Among these options, colistin continues to be an option for the treatment of multi-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, due to its high toxicity (nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity) and narrow therapeutic window, colistin treatment must be utilized carefully. Colistin-treated patients have been observed to have higher mortality due to inadequate therapeutic levels. The objective of this study was to estimate the difference in colistin plasma levels in critically ill patients, and its relationship to favorable or unfavorable clinical outcomes. This prospective observational study was conducted between September 2017 and June 2020 at the Universidad de La Sabana Clinic, in patients who had been treated with colistimethate sodium (CMS) for at least 72 h until day 7 of drug treatment in the critical care unit of a university hospital. There were no statistically significant differences in colistin levels between groups with favorable or unfavorable clinical outcomes (0.16 SD vs. 0.54 SD
