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

Introduction: Critically ill patients with severe infections demonstrate profound alterations in pharmacokinetic behavior. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)-informed antimicrobial dose optimization is thus essential in intensive care settings to ensure maximal bactericidal activity while mitigating toxicity, creating an urgent need for accessible analytical methodologies. Although various studies exist in this domain, the inherent technical constraints of current methodologies persistently prevent the full resolution of these unmet clinical requirements. Methods: A rapid and sensitive LC-ESI-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of 11 antimicrobials in human plasma. Sample preparation was performed by a simple one-step protein precipitation using methanol containing 0.1% formic acid. The analytes were separated on a Kinetex C18 column with a "corner-folded cleaver-shaped" gradient elution program and detected using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in positive ionization mode. Results and Discussion: The gradient elution program achieved baseline separation of all tested analytes within 8 min, with symmetrical peak shapes and no endogenous interference. The developed method was proven to be free of matrix effects, excellent linearity (
