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

TR-701 is the prodrug of the microbiologically active molecule TR-700, a novel orally and intravenously administered oxazolidinone antibacterial agent. The in vitro activity of TR-700 was evaluated against 1,063 bacterial clinical isolates including staphylococci, enterococci, streptococci, Moraxella catarrhalis, Haemophilus influenzae, and a variety of anaerobic bacterial species. The test strains were recent (2005 to 2008) clinical isolates from diverse U.S. (80%) and non-U.S. (20%) sites. MIC assays were conducted using reference broth microdilution and agar dilution methods with the principal comparators linezolid and vancomycin. TR-700 was four- to eightfold more potent than linezolid against staphylococci and generally fourfold more potent against enterococci and streptococci. TR-700 was less active against M. catarrhalis and H. influenzae but was twofold more active than linezolid. Against anaerobic species, the activity of TR-700 was equivalent to or up to fourfold higher than that of linezolid. These results indicate that TR-700 is a promising new oxazolidinone antibacterial agent with greater in vitro potency than linezolid against clinically important gram-positive bacteria.
