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

Rapid emergence of resistance against antibacterials emphasizes the need for the development of novel and/or more potent antibacterials. Tigecycline is the first representative of a new drug class, the glycylcyclines, and was approved in 2005 by the US FDA for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections, as well as complicated intra-abdominal infections. Tigecycline distributes extensively into the intracellular space of tissue and accumulates in cells, which may qualify it for the treatment of intracellular infections. The pharmacokinetics of tigecycline are complex with both linear and non-linear characteristics. The reason for this complexity is still not fully understood. Non-linearity can be found in the volume of distribution possibly due to extensive and variable tissue and/or plasma protein binding. In contrast, clearance and area under the plasma concentration-time curve are dose-independent. Tigecycline has a high incidence of mild adverse effects, mainly nausea and vomiting, but is otherwise well tolerated.
