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

There are some 43 small molecules in the antibiotic development pipeline from late preclinical stage (7 compounds) through Phase 1 (11 molecules), Phase 2 (13 molecules) to Phase 3 (12 molecules). The majority of these are representatives of established antibiotic classes that have been modified to address problems of resistance. In addition, there is considerable activity around the discovery of novel classes of β-lactamase inhibitors with 10 combinations representing 4 inhibitor classes, at different stages of development. The combination of such inhibitors, which have broad activity against serine β-lactamases and may even inhibit some penicillin binding proteins, with carbapenems, cephalosporins or aztreonam, provides enhanced activity against multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. There are 6 molecules representing novel classes of antibiotics but only one of these, murepavadin, is expected to have activity against a Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Although the new analogues of existing classes, and novel combinations, have been designed to address specific resistance problems, it is by no means certain than they will not be affected by the general mechanisms of resistance, particularly decreased net flux across the Gram-negative outer membrane. The potential impact of resistance mechanisms on the new agents is assessed and the ways in which PK/PD studies are used to design dosing regimens for the new agents, especially combinations, as well as to improve dosing of existing antibiotics are discussed.
