Comparative Evaluation of Fosfomycin Activity with other Antimicrobial Agents against
Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionFosfomycin is a broad spectrum anti-microbial agent with activity against various bacterial agents. It is a bactericidal antibiotic which interferes with cell wall synthesis. Fosfomycin is rapidly absorbed orally and majority of the drug is excreted unchanged in urine with very high concentration levels achieved in urine after a single oral dose. Urine levels remain high for prolonged period which makes it a suitable drug in the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI).
aimTo evaluate the in-vitro activity of fosfomycin against uropathogenic MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was a prospective study done in the Department of Microbiology SVS Medical College, Mahbubnagar from Jan 2016 to Mar 2016. A total of 564 urine samples from suspected UTI cases were processed during the study period out of which 170
resultsA total of 170
conclusionIn view of emergence of multidrug resistant pathogens, testing for old and forgotten antibiotics like fosfomycin is gaining importance. Because of its unique mechanism of action and low incidence of resistance it can be a potential therapeutic alternative in the treatment of UTI.
