A Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for Simultaneously Determining Meropenem and Linezolid in Blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid.
Article in Annals of laboratory medicine, 2024. 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
Antibiotic therapy requires appropriate dosage of drugs for effective treatment. Too low antibiotic concentrations may lead to treatment failure and the development of resistant pathogens, whereas overdosing may cause neurological side effects or hemolytic diseases. Meropenem and linezolid are used only in the treatment of serious infections or when other antibiotics are no longer effective as well as for treating central nervous system infections. It is difficult or sometimes even impossible to predict the relation between dosing of antibiotics and its cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration; thus, a method of determining antibiotics not only in the blood but also in the CSF is needed. Analytical method validation is an integral part of good laboratory practice and ensures high accuracy of the results. We performed complete validation process according to the Food and Drug Administration and European Medicine Agency, covering the aspects precision, specificity, accuracy, recovery, limit of detection, limit of quantification, stability, carry-over, and matrix effects. Our liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous measurement of meropenem and linezolid in different matrix meets all the acceptance criteria. The method was successfully applied to determine meropenem and linezolid concentrations in serum and CSF samples obtained from children treated with these antibiotics.
