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

introductionThe European Cubicin(®) Outcomes Registry and Experience (EU-CORE(SM)) was a retrospective, non-interventional, multicenter study which evaluated the safety and effectiveness of daptomycin therapy in patients with Gram-positive infections including infective endocarditis (IE).

methodsData from the EU-CORE registry were collected for patients with IE who had received at least one dose of daptomycin between January 2006 and April 2012, across 18 countries in Europe (12), Latin America (5) and Asia (1). Clinical outcomes were assessed as success (cured or improved), failure or non-evaluable. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded during treatment and for up to 30 days post-treatment; follow-up data were collected for 2 years.

resultsOf 6075 patients included in the EU-CORE registry, 610 were diagnosed with IE as primary infection; 149 (24.4%) right-sided IE (RIE), 414 (67.9%) left-sided IE (LIE), and 47 (7.7%) with both right- and left-sided IE (BRLIE). Overall clinical success was achieved in 80.0% of patients (RIE 88.6%, LIE 76.6% and BRLIE 82.9%). Success rates for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections were 90.9%, 71.7% and 66.6% in patients with RIE, LIE and BRLIE, respectively. The overall sustained clinical success rate in patients followed for up to 2 years was 86.7% (RIE 93.5%, LIE 88.3% and BRLIE 77.8%). AEs deemed possibly related to daptomycin in the investigator's opinion were reported in 2 (1.3%) RIE, 18 (4.3%) LIE and 1 (2.1%) BRLIE patients. There were 11 (1.8%) patients (2 with RIE, 8 with LIE and 1 with BRLIE) with AEs of creatine phosphokinase elevation reported as possibly related to daptomycin.

conclusionData from this real-world clinical setting showed that daptomycin was well tolerated and effective for the treatment of LIE and BRLIE in addition to RIE caused by Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA. Two-year follow-up data showed that a high proportion of patients had a sustained response.
