1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Voriconazole is an antifungal drug used to treat invasive aspergillosis. Voriconazole exhibits nonlinear behavior and considerable individual variability in its pharmacokinetic profile. Invasive aspergillosis has a poor prognosis, and failure of treatment owing to low voriconazole blood levels is undesirable. Thus, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of voriconazole is recommended. However, plasma voriconazole concentration is rarely measured in hospitals, and the TDM of voriconazole is not widely practiced in Japan. We aimed to develop an ultra-simple method to measure plasma voriconazole concentration. Ten microliters of plasma sample was extracted, and proteins were precipitated using methanol extraction. Voriconazole and ketoconazole (internal standard) were separated using high-performance liquid chromatography. A calibration curve was prepared, which was linear over plasma voriconazole concentrations of 0.125−12.5 µg/mL, with a coefficient of determination of 0.9999. The intra-day and inter-day validation coefficients were 0.9−2.2% and 1.3−6.1%, respectively. The assay accuracy was −4.2% to 1.6%, and recovery was >97.8%. Our ultra-simple, sensitive, and inexpensive high-performance liquid chromatography ultraviolet method to determine plasma voriconazole concentration will help improve the voriconazole TDM implementation rate and contribute to effective and safe voriconazole use.
