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
The dosing of fluconazole for young infants remains empirical because of the limited pharmacokinetic (PK) data. We aimed to establish a population PK model and assess the systematic exposure-response of commonly used regimens of fluconazole in Chinese infants. We included infants with a postnatal age of less than 120 days and received intravenous fluconazole. Both scheduled and scavenged plasma samples were collected, and fluconzaole concentration was determined by a validated ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. Population PK analysis was conducted using Phoenix NLME, and then Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to predict the probability of target attainment (PTA) of empirically used regimens of both prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. Based on 304 plasma samples from 183 young infants, fluconazole concentration data was best described by a one-compartment model with first-order elimination. Gestational Age (GA), postnatal age (PNA), and body weight (BW) were included in the final model as CL = 0.02*(GA/214)2.77*(PNA/13)0.24*exp(nCL); V = 1.56*(BW/1435)0.90*exp(nV). Model validation revealed the final model had qualified stability and acceptable predictive properties. Monte Carlo simulation indicated that under the same minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value and administration regimen, PTA decreased with GA and PNA. The commonly used prophylactic regimens can meet the clinical need, while higher doses might be needed for treatment of invasive candidiasis. This population PK model of fluconazole discriminated the impact of GA and PNA on CL and BW on V. Dosing adjustment was needed according to the GA and PNA of infants to achieve targeted exposures.
