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

Meropenem, linezolid, fluconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, and vancomycin are six important antimicrobials used for severe infections in critically ill patients listed in special-grade antimicrobials in China. The six antimicrobials' highly variable pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in critically ill pediatric patients present significant challenges to clinicians in ensuring optimal therapeutic targets. Therefore, therapeutic drug monitoring of these antimicrobials in human plasma is necessary to obtain their plasma concentration. A rapid, simple, and sample-saving high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed, which could simultaneously determine all six antimicrobials. It required only 10 μL of plasma and a one-step protein precipitation process. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reversed-phase column (C18, 30 × 2.1 mm, 2.6 μm) via gradient elution using water and acetonitrile containing 0.1 % formic acid as mobile phase. The injection volume was 2 μL, and the total run time was only 2.5 min. Detection was done using a Triple Quad™ 4500MD tandem mass spectrometer coupled with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in positive mode. The calibration curves ranged from 0.5 to 64 μg/mL for meropenem and fluconazole, 0.2-25.6 μg/mL for linezolid and voriconazole, 0.1-12.8 μg/mL for posaconazole and 1-128 μg/mL for vancomycin, with the coefficients of correlation all greater than 0.996. Furthermore, the method was validated rigorously according to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines, demonstrating excellent accuracy (from 93.0 % to 110.6 %) and precision (from 2.0 % to 12.8 %). Moreover, its applicability to various matrices (including serum, hemolytic plasma, and hyperlipidemic plasma) was evaluated. Thus, this method was successfully applied to routine therapeutic drug monitoring for critically ill pediatric patients and other patients in need.
