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

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the population pharmacokinetics (PopPK) of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) in adult patients, and to develop optimal dosing regimens for both non-critically ill and critically ill patients by combining different pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) targets. Patients and Methods: A prospective, single-center study involving patients who were infected with CRKP and received CAZ-AVI therapy was conducted. Nonlinear mixed-effect modeling was used to develop a PopPK model. The optimal dosing regimen was assessed using Monte Carlo simulation. Results: The PopPK analysis of CAZ-AVI included 91 steady-state concentrations from 45 adult patients. The data were modeled using a one-compartment model. The typical population values of CAZ and AVI clearances were 2.96 L/h and 3.09 L/h, and the volumes of distribution were 17.76 L and 18.25 L, respectively. Our study showed that creatinine clearance (CrCL) calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation significantly affected the pharmacokinetics of CAZ-AVI. The Monte Carlo simulation optimized the dosing regimen for both non-critically ill and critically ill patients with varying renal functions, providing detailed supplements to the instructions. Conclusion: Our study established a PopPK model for CAZ-AVI and proposed a reference for dosing regimen adjustment based on the severity of the disease and renal functional status.
