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

Background: Clozapine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) supports individualized dosing in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Aim: This study evaluated the time trend of TDM reporting in routine practice. Methods: A retrospective audit of 100 consecutive clozapine TDM reports over 4 years was performed. Service utilization was assessed. Associations between daily dose, trough concentration, concentration-dose (C/D) ratio, therapeutic impressions (low, matching the dose, high, very high clozapine concentrations), and clinical advice accordingly were analyzed statistically. Results: The mean turnaround time was 20.9 ± 12 days, with a stable quarterly demand (~6 requests/quarter) for clozapine TDM. Dose correlated significantly with trough concentration (ρ = 0.453, Conclusions: Pharmacology TDM service utilization for clozapine was steady and continuing in treatment-resistant schizophrenia patient care.
