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

Moxifloxacin (Avelox) is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial with a methoxy group in the C-8 position and a bulky C-7 side chain. Moxifloxacin is approved for use in the treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (AECB), community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), acute bacterial sinusitis and uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections (approved indications may differ between countries). Moxifloxacin has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity, including activity against penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. It achieves good tissue penetration and has a convenient once-daily administration schedule, as well as being available in both intravenous and oral formulations in some markets. Moxifloxacin has good efficacy in the treatment of patients with AECB, CAP, acute bacterial sinusitis and uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, and is generally well tolerated. Thus, moxifloxacin is an important option in the treatment of bacterial infections.
