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

backgroundCurrent consensus guidelines recommend therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin to target a 24-h area under the curve (AUC

methodsThis was a single center retrospective review of hospitalized pediatric patients receiving intravenous vancomycin. Patients with two concentrations collected at steady-state within 96 h of vancomycin initiation were screened. Pharmacokinetic parameters and AUC

resultsOverall, 196 patients (22 neonates, 17 infants, 114 children, and 43 adolescents) were included in the final analysis. Reasonable agreement was observed between linear and Bayesian two-concentration methods (84.2%; R

conclusionsLinear and Bayesian two-concentration methods demonstrated reasonable agreement with acceptable variability and may be considered comparable for estimating vancomycin AUC
