Clinical Application Value of Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Vancomycin in Children Treated in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of vancomycin as measured by pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters in children with severe infection in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and to determine the appropriate threshold for avoiding nephrotoxicity. Methods: The medical records of hospitalized children with severe infection treated with vancomycin in the PICU of a tertiary pediatric hospital from September 2018 to January 2021 were retrospectively collected. Univariate analysis was used to assess the correlation between vancomycin pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters and therapeutic efficacy or vancomycin-related nephrotoxicity. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for vancomycin-related nephrotoxicity. The vancomycin area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h (AUC Results: One hundred and 10 patients were included in this study. Seventy-six patients (69.1%) exhibited clinically effective response, while the rest exhibited clinically ineffective response. There were no significant differences in APACHE II score, steady-state trough concentration, peak concentration or AUC Conclusion: No significant correlations were found between the trough concentration or AUC
