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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe pharmacokinetics of vancomycin (VCM) in patients with febrile neutropenia (FN) are highly variable due to coexisting conditions such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome and augmented renal clearance. Upon hematopoietic recovery, VCM clearance (CLvcm) is expected to normalize, which contributes to intra-individual variability. This study aimed to investigate the factors contributing to intra-individual variability in CLvcm among pediatric patients with FN.

methodsThis retrospective, single-center study analyzed 33 pediatric patients (48 FN episodes) who met the inclusion criteria. CLvcm was estimated using Bayesian estimation based on the pediatric population pharmacokinetic model developed by Le et al., and standardized with allometrically scaled body weight. The change (Δ) in each clinical laboratory parameter or CLvcm was calculated as the difference between the values at the current and previous TDM within the same episode.

resultsA total of 155 VCM TDM data points were analyzed. Intra-individual comparisons revealed that CLvcm decreased significantly in patients recovering from FN to a non-FN state (

conclusionsMaximum daily body temperature was identified as a factor influencing intra-individual variability in CLvcm in pediatric FN patients, particularly during the recovery process from FN to a non-FN state. The finding suggests that dose adjustment based on maximum daily body temperature may allow safe and effective VCM therapy in FN patients.
