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 tested two-drug combinations of doripenem, colistin, gentamicin, and doxycycline against 12 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC) isolates by time-kill. The combination of doripenem and colistin reduced the starting inocula by 2 logs for each isolate (range, 2.02 to 6.01 log(10)) and was bactericidal and synergistic against 75 and 50%, respectively. Among colistin- and pan-drug-resistant isolates, synergy was identified in 60 and 67%, respectively. All other combinations were inferior. We are currently evaluating the combination of doripenem and colistin as a frontline therapy for KPC infection.
