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

objectiveThis review examines the progress of research on posaconazole therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) that has focused on differences in the TDM of posaconazole after clinical application in different formulations and in different populations, the factors that affect posaconazole concentrations, the advantages of posaconazole TDM in terms of clinical efficacy and cost savings, and measurement methods.

methodsA literature search (2006 to 2024) was performed in PubMed and Embase with the following search terms: noxafil, posaconazole hydrate, posaconazole, drug monitoring, therapeutic drug monitoring, and TDM. Abstracts of review articles, prospective studies, and retrospective studies were reviewed.

resultsTDM should be implemented earlier for posaconazole tablets and injections than for oral posaconazole suspensions. Posaconazole TDM is beneficial for improving clinical efficacy, and the incidence of breakthrough invasive fungal infections (IFIs) can be significantly reduced by gradually adjusting the posaconazole dose in response to TDM in patients with inadequate trough concentrations. Early TDM allows more patients to achieve target therapeutic posaconazole concentrations. TDM can also facilitate dose adjustments, which reduce the cost of this expensive drug. Different assay techniques, including chromatography, microbiological detection, chemofluorimetry, paper spray mass spectrometry, and capillary electrophoresis, can be used for posaconazole TDM.

conclusionsPosaconazole TDM has potential clinical utility and cost-saving benefits and could improve the outcomes of IFI treatment.
