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

backgroundEuropean Cubicin

methodsClinical outcomes were assessed as success (cured or improved), failure, or non-evaluable. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded for up to 30 days after daptomycin treatment.

resultsOf 610 patients with IE, 198 [32.5%; left-sided IE (LIE), 166 (83.8%); right-sided IE (RIE), 21 (10.6%); both LIE and RIE, 11 (5.6%)] underwent heart valve replacement. Other than cardiovascular disease, renal disease (18.2%), sepsis (16.2%), and diabetes mellitus (15.2%) were the most significant underlying diseases. Major pathogens in patients with positive culture results (68.0%) were

conclusionsDaptomycin treatment was effective and well tolerated with a sustained response in patients with IE who underwent heart valve surgery. A trend towards better clinical outcomes was observed with higher daptomycin doses.
