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: The concomitant use of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and voriconazole is generally contraindicated in clinical practice because of drug‒drug interactions (DDIs). However, emerging clinical data suggest that this DDI is complicated and that the concomitant use of these two drugs may be feasible. Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective study. Hospitalized patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 in 2023 and who received concomitant nirmatrelvir-ritonavir and voriconazole were retrospectively included according to preset criteria. Personal information, medication records and voriconazole plasma levels were obtained from the hospital information system. The voriconazole concentrations were analyzed. Results: A total of 13 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and 16 voriconazole trough concentrations were included from 4 centers. Half of the patients (8 patients, 50.0%) had voriconazole plasma concentrations within the therapeutic range. The remaining 8 cases (50.0%) fell outside the therapeutic range, including 1 case (12.5%) with subtherapeutic levels and 7 cases (87.5%) with supratherapeutic concentrations. Conclusion: The concomitant use of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir and voriconazole might be feasible, but the dosing of voriconazole needs further study.
