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

Maintaining quinolone concentrations outside the mutant selection window (MSW) between the MIC and mutant prevention concentration (MPC) was suggested by in vitro and in vivo studies to prevent the selection of resistant mutants. However, selection also may depend on the presence of resistant bacterial mutants at the start of treatment, which is highly dependent on the initial inoculum size. In this study, a mouse thigh bacterial infection model was used to test the influence of different exposures to marbofloxacin on the selection of resistant bacteria after infection with a low (10(5) CFU) or high (10(8) CFU) initial inoculum of Escherichia coli. The inoculum size was shown to influence the exposure to marbofloxacin and the values of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic indices. When the abilities of the indices time within the MSW (T(MSW)), area under the concentration-time curve of 0 to 24 h divided by the MIC, and the maximum concentration of drug in plasma divided by the MIC to predict the selection of resistant bacteria were compared, only T(MSW) appeared to be a good predictor of the prevention of resistance for values less than 30%. When the T(MSW) was higher than 34%, the selection of resistant bacteria occurred less often in thighs initially infected with the low inoculum (11/24; 46%) than in those infected with the high inoculum (30/36; 80%), suggesting that the selection of resistant mutants depends on both the T(MSW) and inoculum size. The relevance of these results merits further investigation to test different strategies of antibiotic therapy depending on the expected bacterial burden at the infectious site.
