Lacosamide dosing in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy.

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
backgroundLacosamide is one of the anticonvulsants used in critically ill patients. This study aimed to suggest appropriate lacosamide dosing regimens in critically ill patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) via Monte Carlo simulations.
methodsMathematical models were created using published demographic and pharmacokinetics in adult critically ill patients. CRRT modalities with different effluent rates were added into the models. Lacosamide regimens were evaluated on the probability of target attainment (PTA) using pharmacodynamic targets of trough concentrations and area under the curve within a range of 5-10 mg/L and 80.25-143 and 143-231 mg*h/L for the initial 72 h-therapy, respectively. Optimal regimens were defined from regimens that yielded the highest PTA. Each dosing regimen was tested in a group of different 10,000 virtual patients.
resultsOur results revealed the optimal lacosamide dosing regimen of 300-450 mg/day is recommended for adult patients receiving both CRRT modalities with 20-25 effluent rates. The dose of 600 mg/day was suggested in higher effluent rate of 35 mL/kg/h. Moreover, a patient with body weight > 100 kg was less likely to attain the targets.
conclusionsVolume of distribution, total clearance, CRRT clearance and body weight were significantly contributed to lacosamide dosing. Clinical validation of the finding is strongly indicated.
