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 used to treat serious gram-positive infections in children; however, effective dosing information for those aged 3 months to 18 years is limited. We aimed to determine an optimized dosing strategy for this age group. A population pharmacokinetic model was developed using data from The Royal Children's Hospital (RCH), Melbourne. Children aged 3 months to 18 years who received vancomycin were included. The model was externally validated with data from the Children's Hospital at Westmead (CHW), Sydney Children's Hospital (SCH), and Perth Children's Hospital (PCH). Simulations were performed to evaluate the standard dosing regimen and propose an optimized strategy, targeting an AUC
