Telavancin in the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia: clinical evidence and experience.
Review in Therapeutic advances in respiratory disease, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Telavancin (TLV) is a lipoglycopeptide derivative of vancomycin (VAN), which has activity against Gram-positive aerobic bacteria, and is especially effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Gram-positive bacteria resistant to VAN. Comparative clinical studies of TLV have demonstrated noninferiority compared with VAN in the treatment of hospital-acquired Gram-positive pneumonia, with high cure rates for TLV-treated patients with monomicrobial S. aureus infection, including isolates with reduced VAN susceptibility. The results based on the patients' clinical response were supported by supplemental post-hoc analyses of 28-day mortality. In Europe and the USA, TLV is approved as a useful alternative for patients with difficult-to-treat, hospital-acquired MRSA pneumonia when there are very few alternatives. The present article reviews TLV's pharmacological characteristics and clinical efficacy resulting from clinical trials giving a detailed picture of its properties and position in the management of hospital-acquired pneumonia.
