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

Dalbavancin, a semisynthetic lipoglycopeptide being developed for the treatment of skin and skin structure infections (SSSIs), has a half-life of 5 to 7 days in humans and offers promise for a convenient weekly dosing regimen. We studied the in vitro bactericidal activity of dalbavancin against target organisms, using the concentrations that are maintained in human blood with the proposed dosage regimen. Dalbavancin minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) were<or=0.5 microg/ml for eight staphylococcal isolates; and for six of these strains, including one vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) isolate, the MBCs were equal to or within 1 doubling dilution of the MIC. Dalbavancin MICs for all three Streptococcus pyogenes strains were 0.008 microg/ml, as were the MBCs for two of the isolates. In time-kill studies conducted with a different set of seven strains (two methicillin-susceptible S. aureus isolates, three methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates, one VISA isolate, and one S. pyogenes isolate), all strains exhibited a>or=3-log10 decrease in their viable counts when they were exposed to>or=1 microg/ml of dalbavancin for 24 h. Resistance development studies by both direct selection (resistance frequency, <10(-10)) and serial passage failed to produce stable mutants with decreased susceptibility to dalbavancin. These observations suggest that dalbavancin will be an effective choice for the management of patients with SSSIs.
