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

Population pharmacokinetic analyses were undertaken to characterize epithelial lining fluid (ELF) penetration for tobramycin in pneumonia patients. A two-compartment model with zero-order intravenous input and first-order elimination linked to an effect site ELF compartment was utilized to determine the steady-state ELF penetration ratio of 0.51 for tobramycin. These results are useful to account for effect site exposure when performing analyses to support recommendations for aminoglycoside dosing regimens and interpretive criteria for
