Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Beta-Lactams in Cystic Fibrosis: Unattained Target in Standard Antibiotic Dosing.
Article in Therapeutic drug monitoring, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
abstractAcute exacerbations of cystic fibrosis (CF) diminish quality of life and, if inadequately treated, can be life-threatening. The pathophysiological alterations associated with CF result in modified antibiotic pharmacokinetics. Moreover, the viscous mucus in the lungs limits pathogen exposure to drugs, rendering successful antibiotic treatment challenging. A 23-year-old female patient with CF was repeatedly admitted for intravenous antibiotic therapy for acute exacerbation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. In the context of altered pharmacokinetics in CF, therapeutic drug monitoring of meropenem and piperacillin revealed consistently low plasma levels of both drugs. Targeted plasma levels were ultimately achieved through continuous high-dose infusions, based on therapeutic drug monitoring and subsequent dose adjustments.
