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

Posaconazole is a broad-spectrum triazole antifungal agent indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of invasive fungal infections. Posaconazole pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions (DDIs), due to cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibition, have been previously characterized. This pharmacokinetic simulation study assessed whether the known weight-dependent effects on posaconazole pharmacokinetics could prolong the risk of CYP3A4-mediated DDIs following posaconazole discontinuation in persons with obesity. A population pharmacokinetic model developed from 1092 individuals showed 25% lower average steady-state posaconazole concentrations in individuals with body weight 120 kg versus 70 kg. Steady-state posaconazole concentration-time profiles following administrations of therapeutic doses and upon discontinuation of dosing were simulated across a range of body weights (70-180 kg). Simulated concentration-time profiles were evaluated against the in vitro CYP3A4 inhibition constant (K
