Pharmacokinetics of Antibiotics in Crocodiles: A Review.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This review aims to provide an overview of the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics in crocodilian species, focusing on species-specific variations in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME), as well as the influence of environmental factors. A review of the available literature across crocodilian species reveals notable pharmacokinetic variability. Environmental influences, such as temperature and metabolic rate, are shown to impact these pharmacokinetic parameters significantly. Despite the frequent use of antibiotics in clinical and conservation settings, the lack of standardized dosing regimens presents risks of under- or over-dosing. This variability is compounded by limited research on species-specific drug metabolism and elimination processes. The review highlights the need for further pharmacokinetic studies to develop evidence-based dosing protocols, optimize therapeutic outcomes, and address concerns related to antimicrobial resistance. Future research should focus on filling the gaps in PK data to refine dosing strategies and ensure both efficacy and safety in crocodilian species.
