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

We address the problem of model misspecification in population pharmacokinetics (PopPK), by modeling residual unexplained variability (RUV) by machine learning (ML) methods in a postprocessing step after conventional model building. The practical purpose of the method is the generation of realistic virtual patient profiles and the quantification of the extent of model misspecification, by introducing an appropriate metric, to be used as an additional diagnostic of model quality. The proposed methodology consists of the following steps: After developing a PopPK model, the individual residual errors IRES = DV-IPRED, are computed, where DV are the observations and IPRED the individual predictions and are modeled by ML to obtain IRES
