Influence of Age, Gender and Body Mass Index on Intravenous Pharmacokinetics of Buprenorphine in Children Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery.

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
Background: Buprenorphine (BPN) is a widely used analgesic in the pediatric population, although there are few studies on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of this drug. Objective: The objective was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of BPN after intravenous administration and analyze the effect of age, gender, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and drug-drug interactions as covariates. Methods: Ninety-nine children (2-10 years), who underwent orthopedic surgery under regional, general, or combined anesthesia were included. Patients evaluated according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification, who received intravenous BPN 2 μg/kg were enrolled. Blood was collected from 1-240 min. Drug plasma concentrations were determined by LC-MS/MS. Population pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained with Monolix 2021R1 software. Pearson's correlation and/or ANOVA were used for statistical analysis. Results: Age was associated with changes in clearance and central compartment volume and the female gender was associated with lower intercompartmental clearance, while BMI modified clearance, central and peripheral compartment volume. Concomitant administration of BPN with fentanyl and dexamethasone produced decreases in clearance. Conclusions: The covariates of sex, age, and BMI are directly related to the increase or decrease in BPN pharmacokinetic parameters.
