Differentiating therapeutic use and potential impairment in the forensic interpretation of valsartan concentrations in road traffic offenders.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Based on the presented case, general challenges in the interpretation of cardiovascular drug concentrations in the context of active participation in road traffic are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the assessment of valsartan concentrations, for which no clearly defined threshold between therapeutic and toxic ranges has been established. The case of a 59‑year‑old male who experienced a medical incident while driving enabled the identification of a valsartan concentration of 12.7 µg/mL, which was well above the expected range. Potential interactions with concomitantly administered medications are also considered.
