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

Antibiotic pharmacodynamic modeling allows variations in pathogen susceptibility and human pharmacokinetics to be accounted for when considering antibiotic doses, potential bacterial pathogen targets for therapy, and clinical susceptibility breakpoints. Variation in the pharmacodynamic index (area-under-the-concentration curve to 24 h [AUC(24)]/MIC; maximum serum concentration of drug in the serum/MIC; time the serum concentration remains higher than the MIC [T > MIC]) is not usually considered. In an in vitro pharmacokinetic model of infection using a dose-ranging design, we established the relationship between AUC(24)/MIC and the antibacterial effect for moxifloxacin against 10 strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The distributions of AUC(24)/MIC targets for 24-h bacteriostatic effect and 1-log, 2-log, and 3-log drops in bacterial counts were used to calculate potential clinical breakpoint values, and these were compared with those obtained by the more conventional approach of taking a single AUC(24)/MIC target. Consideration of the AUC(24)/MIC as a distribution rather than a single value resulted in a lower clinical breakpoint.
