Factors affecting free vancomycin concentration and target attainment of free area under the concentration-time curve.

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
backgroundIt has been reported that the protein binding rate of vancomycin (VCM) varies among individual patients. So, the authors investigated relevant factors that may affect free VCM concentration and target attainment of free area under the concentration-time curve (fAUC).
methodsThirty-nine patients were included. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the valuable factors in the free VCM concentration, and the target attainment of area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) 400-600 mg・h/L and fAUC200-300 mg・h/L was calculated.
resultsWe found total protein was significant covariate for free VCM. Among 18 patients who were investigated for AUC and fAUC estimation, 9 patients (50.0%) and 12 patients (66.7%) reached AUC > 600 mg・h/L, and fAUC > 300 mg・h/L (p = 0.310), respectively.
conclusionsTotal protein is a significant predictor for free VCM estimation. And the fAUC-guided TDM for VCM TDM may contribute to more strict dosing than the AUC-guided TDM in hyper- or hypo-proteinemic population.
