Effect modification of dosing strategy (AUC or trough) on AKI associated with vancomycin in combination with piperacillin/tazobactam or cefepime and meropenem.

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
Piperacillin-tazobactam (TZP), cefepime (FEP), or meropenem (MEM) and vancomycin (VAN) are commonly used in combination for sepsis. Studies have shown an increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) with TZP and VAN compared to FEP or MEM. VAN guidelines recommend area under the curve (AUC) monitoring over trough (Tr) to minimize the risk of AKI. We investigated the association of AKI and MAKE-30 with the two VAN monitoring strategies when used in combination with TZP or FEP/MEM. Adult patients between 2015 and 2019 with VAN > 72 hours were included. Patients with AKI prior to or within 48 hours of VAN or baseline CrCl of ≤30 mL/min were excluded. Four cohorts were defined: FEP/MEM/Tr, FEP/MEM/AUC, TZP/Tr, and TZP/AUC. A Cox Proportional Hazard Model was used to model AKI as a function of the incidence rate of at-risk days, testing monitoring strategy as a treatment effect modification. Multivariable logistic regression was used to model MAKE-30. Overall incidence of AKI was 18.6%; FEP/MEM/Tr = 115 (14.6%), FEP/MEM/AUC = 52 (14.9%), TZP/Tr = 189 (26%), and TZP/AUC = 96 (17.1%) (
