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

Atovaquone is an FDA-approved antiparasitic and antifungal therapeutic that is currently used as a prophylactic agent to prevent Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) infections in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients after receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Recent studies have shown that atovaquone has shown potential as an anticancer agent. The high variability in atovaquone bioavailability prompts the need for therapeutic drug monitoring, especially in pediatric patients. The goal of our study was to develop and validate the performance of an assay to quantify atovaquone plasma concentrations collected from pediatric cancer patients. Briefly, an organic-based solvent system is used to precipitate protein and extract the atovaquone content from each patient-derived plasma sample. After completing a second stage of sample dilution (5000-fold overall), a 2 μL volume of the plasma extract is analyzed using the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based bioanalytical method described.
