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

The pharmacodynamics of moxifloxacin against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated in a pharmacokinetic infection model. Three strains of S. pneumoniae, moxifloxacin, and two strains of P. aeruginosa were used. Antibacterial effect and emergence of resistance were measured for both species over a 72-h period using an initial inoculum of about 10(8) CFU/ml. At equivalent area under the curve (AUC)/MIC ratios, S. pneumoniae was cleared from the model while P. aeruginosa was not. For S. pneumoniae, the area under the bacterial kill curve up to 72 h could be related to AUC/MIC ratio using an inhibitory maximum effect (E(max)) model (concentration required for 50% E(max) [EC(50)], 45 +/- 22; r(2), 0.97). For P. aeruginosa even at the highest AUC/MIC ratio (427), bacterial clearance was insufficient for the EC(50) to be calculated. Emergence of resistance occurred with P. aeruginosa but not to any significant extent with S. pneumoniae. Emergence of resistance in P. aeruginosa as measured by population analysis profile (PAP-AUC) was dependent on drug exposure and time of exposure. In weighted least-squares regression analysis AUC/MIC ratio was predictive of PAP-AUC. When emergence of resistance was measured by the time for the colony counts on media containing antibiotic to increase by 2 logs, again AUC/MIC was the best predictor of emergence of resistance. However, for both experiments using S. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa the correlation between all the pharmacodynamic parameters was high. These data indicate that for a given fluoroquinolone the magnitude of the AUC/MIC ratio for antibacterial effect is dependent on the bacterial species. Emergence of resistance is dependent on (i) species, (ii) duration of drug exposure, and (iii) drug exposure. A single AUC/MIC ratio magnitude is not adequate to predict antibacterial effect or emergence of resistance for all bacterial species.
