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

We compared the potency of SMP-601, a novel carbapenem, with that of vancomycin in a murine model of hematogenous bronchopneumonia infection caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA). The MICs of SMP-601 and vancomycin against MRSA were 2 and 1 mug/ml, respectively, while those against VISA were 2 and 8 mug/ml, respectively. Treatment with SMP-601 resulted in a significant decrease in the number of viable bacteria in the MRSA infection model (control, 100 mg/kg vancomycin, and 100 mg/kg SMP-601, 8.42 +/- 0.50, 5.29 +/- 0.71, and 5.50 +/- 0.58 log CFU/lung, respectively,) and in the VISA infection model (control, 100 mg/kg vancomycin, and 100 mg/kg SMP-601, 9.64 +/- 0.63, 8.72 +/- 0.45, 7.42 +/- 0.14 log CFU/lung) (mean +/- standard error of the mean). The survival rate in the VISA infection model treated with SMP-601 (70%) was significantly higher than those in the other two groups (20% for vancomycin and 0% for control; P < 0.05). Histopathological examination revealed that inflammatory changes in the SMP-601-treated group were less marked than in the other two groups. The results of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analysis supported the results of the bacteriological, histopathological and survival studies. Our results demonstrate the potency of SMP-601 against MRSA and VISA in murine hematogenous pulmonary infection.
