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

Objective: This study aimed to develop an individualized dosing strategy for voriconazole (VRZ) in children under 2 years of age by integrating machine learning (ML) and population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling. Methods: This retrospective observational study included 76 eligible pediatric patients for model development, analyzing their baseline characteristics and laboratory parameters. A population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model using NONMEM Results: A total of 76 pediatric patients were enrolled for model development, consisting of 58 males (76.3%) and 18 females (23.7%), with a median age of 11 months and a median weight of 8.05 kg. We analyzed 110 therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) samples of VRZ from these participants. A one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination described the population pharmacokinetics of VRZ. Population estimates for apparent clearance (CL/F) and volume of distribution (V/F) were 17.9 L/h/70kg (RSE, 10.8%) and 788 L/70kg (RSE, 15.4%), respectively. An XGBoost model accurately predicted voriconazole concentrations (R Conclusion: This study emphasized the importance of personalized treatment in utilizing VRZ for children under 24 months. The XGBoost model demonstrated potential in identifying an initial dose recommendation for VRZ.
