Variability and uncertainty: interpretation and usage of pharmacometric simulations and intervals.
Article in Journal of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, 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
Variability and estimation uncertainty are important sources of variation in pharmacometric simulations. Different combinations of uncertainty and the variability components lead to a variety types of simulation intervals, and many realized and unrealized confusions exist among pharmacometricians on their interpretation and usage. This commentary aims to clarify some of the important underlying concepts and provide a convenient guideline on pharmacometric simulation conduct and interpretation.
