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

introductionAminoglycosides are among the first-choice antibiotics for routine clinical use. However, dose-limiting factors such as ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity are considered as serious complications of aminoglycosides.

objectiveIn this systematic review, the main goal was to investigate the efficacy and incidence of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of once-daily dosing (ODD) and multiple daily dosing (MDD) regimens of aminoglycosides through available randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

methodsWe performed a literature-based research in relevant databases, including EMBASE, MEDLINE, and SCOPUS published between 1987 and 2023 using the keywords "aminoglycosides", "pharmacokinetics", "ODD", "MDD", "once daily", "multiple daily", "dosing regimen", "nephrotoxicity", "ototoxicity", "efficacy", "safety", and "toxicity". As so told, the results of this article were limited to papers available in English. Our initial search yielded 1124 results. After a review of the titles and abstracts of the articles, 803 articles were excluded from this study because they did not address the toxicity and effectiveness of ODD

resultsThe most common clinical condition in the included studies was cystic fibrosis.

conclusionIn most studies, there were no significant differences between the two regimens regarding ototoxicity. In addition, the ODD regimens were safer than MDD concerning nephrotoxicity.
