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

introductionPrevious studies have suggested the use of rational combination therapy for the treatment of multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections. An antibiotic adjuvant entity (AAE) of ceftriaxone, sulbactam and disodium edetate (Elores) was approved for multi-drug resistant infections in India.

aimThis study was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of this AAE in patients with sepsis due to extended spectrum beta lactamse (ESBL) and metallo-beta lactamase (MBL) producing pathogens. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted in patients admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) at tertiary health care site in India, with enrollment from 24 March, 2012 to 7 Aug, 2012. Patients eligible for enrollment had clear infection of bacterial septicaemia, were aged 12-65 years, and were considered for treatment with Cephalosporins categories of antibiotics.

resultsTotal 18 patients were included in the study and all assigned to combination of ceftriaxone, sulbactam and disodium edetate. Complete clinical cure in terms of relief and no-disease symptoms had observed in 15 (83.3%) subjects, however 3 (16.6%) showed treatment failure (TF). Similarly for bacteriological eradication response, 15 (83.3%) patients displayed complete bacteriological eradication response and 03 (16.6%) subjects showed TF. No serious side effect was observed during the study.

conclusionThis study recommends the use of combination of ceftriaxone, sulbactam and disodium edetate (EDTA) for the treatment of MDR septicaemia associated with ESBL and MBL producing microbes.
