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

Nonadherence to antihypertensive medications is a major concern, with significant implications for healthcare systems and patient outcomes. Chemical adherence testing (CAT) is a recommended method to assess nonadherence objectively by detecting drugs or their metabolites in blood or urine samples. Interpretation of CAT results require relevant pharmacokinetic parameters. However, pharmacokinetic data in established sources are not graded for quality and not compiled into a single resource. We systematically collated and graded the literature on pharmacokinetic parameters for 20 commonly prescribed antihypertensive agents. A total of 53 suitable manuscripts were included. Pharmacokinetic data, including half-life and maximum concentration, were collated. Also, minimum concentration at regular dosing intervals was calculated. This resource allows clinicians and researchers to interpret CAT results with more confidence and accuracy and will help facilitate the interpretation of CAT. It also shows that there are significant gaps in available literature, and further research is needed.
