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

Vancomycin is widely used as a prophylactic antibiotic for ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation to prevent infections, the most common complication. As vancomycin is renally eliminated, an accurate renal function estimation is essential. However, it has been reported that creatinine-based models inaccurately estimate renal function in VAD recipients, and cystatin C could alleviate the limitation. This study analyzed the association between renal function estimation methods and vancomycin trough concentrations in VAD recipients. Clinical data of VAD recipients who received prophylactic vancomycin at Seoul National University Hospital between 2014 and 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Recipients were categorized into high trough (> 15 mg/dL) or non-high trough (≤ 15 mg/dL) groups based on the 1st vancomycin trough concentration after surgery. The estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) based on creatinine alone (eGFR
