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

When tested against 254 Haemophilus influenzae strains, LBM415, a peptide deformylase inhibitor, gave MIC50 and MIC90 values of 2.0 microg/ml and 8.0 microg/ml, respectively. The MICs were independent of beta-lactam or quinolone susceptibility and the presence or absence of macrolide efflux or ribosomal protein mutations. The MICs of LBM415 against 23 H. parainfluenzae strains were similar to those against H. influenzae. In contrast, erythromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin gave unimodal MIC distributions, and apart from beta-lactamase-negative, ampicillin-resistant strains, all strains were susceptible to the beta-lactams tested. Apart from selected quinolone-resistant strains, all strains were susceptible to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, and gemifloxacin. Resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was common. The potencies of all drugs against 23 H. parainfluenzae strains were similar to those against H. influenzae. Time-kill studies with 10 Haemophilus strains showed LBM415 to be bactericidal at 2 x the MIC against 8 of 10 strains after 24 h. For comparison, the macrolides and beta-lactams were bactericidal against 8 to 10 strains each at 2 x the MIC after 24 h. Quinolones were bactericidal against all 10 strains tested at 2 x the MIC after 24 h. Against six H. influenzae strains, postantibiotic effects for LBM415 lasted between 0.8 and 2.2 h. In multistep resistance selection studies, LBM415 produced resistant clones in 7 of the 10 strains tested, with MICs ranging from 4 to 64 microg/ml. No mutations in deformylase (def) and formyltransferase (fmt) genes were detected in any of the LBM415-resistant mutants.
