Single- and multiple-dose administration, dosing regimens, and pharmacokinetics of trovafloxacin and alatrofloxacin in humans.
Trial report in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A simplified dosing algorithm for trovafloxacin was evaluated following a single-dose infusion of alatrofloxacin at trovafloxacin equivalent doses of 30, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg (57 subjects), and multiple doses of 200, 300 and 400 mg (30 subjects). Maximum serum concentration and area under the concentration-time curve for trovafloxacin increased with dose. Trovafloxacin clearance (82-85 ml x h/kg) and volume of distribution (1.3-1.6 l/kg) were independent of dose. Infusion of alatrofloxacin at a trovafloxacin equivalent dose of 300 mg at 1, 2 or 3 mg/ml over 1 h did not alter the pharmacokinetics of trovafloxacin. A plot of the weight-adjusted dose of trovafloxacin in individual subjects against the maximum serum concentration following single and multiple dosing, indicated that the maximum serum concentration increased 1 microg/ml for each 1 mg/kg of trovafloxacin administered. Thus, a prior knowledge of the desired serum concentration will permit appropriate dosing without the use of complex nomograms in patients with normal hepatic function.
