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 present study was conducted to determine the in vitro activity of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid compared to that of four newer antimicrobial agents (ampicillin, azithromycin, cefuroxime and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole). All of the agents were tested against 21232 recent clinical isolates encompassing 37 species submitted from 16 European countries between 1997 and 1999. After 20 years of clinical use, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid continues to retain much of its initial activity against targeted gram-positive organisms, selected gram-negative organisms and major respiratory pathogens.
