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

Background: Consensus guidelines for dosing and monitoring of vancomycin recommend collection of 2 serum concentrations to estimate an area under the curve/minimum inhibitory concentration ratio (AUC/MIC). Use of Bayesian software for AUC estimation and model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) enables pre-steady state therapeutic drug monitoring using a single serum concentration; however, data supporting this approach are limited. Methods: Adult patients with culture-proven gram-positive infections treated with vancomycin ≥72 hours receiving either trough-guided or AUC-guided therapy were included in this retrospective study. AUC-guided therapy was provided using MIPD and single-concentration monitoring. Treatment success, vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (VA-AKI), and inpatient mortality were compared using a desirability of outcome ranking analysis. The most desirable outcome was survival with treatment success and no VA-AKI, and the least desirable outcome was death. Results: The study population (N = 300) was comprised of an equal number of patients receiving AUC-guided or trough-guided therapy. More patients experienced the most desirable outcome in the AUC-guided group compared to the trough-guided group (58.7% vs 46.7%, Conclusions: AUC-guided vancomycin therapy using MIPD and single-concentration monitoring improved outcomes in patients with culture-proven gram-positive infections. Safety was improved with reduced incidence of VA-AKI, and no concerns for reduced efficacy were observed. Moreover, MIPD allowed for earlier assessment of AUC target attainment and greater flexibility in the collection of serum vancomycin concentrations.
