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

High-dose cefepime-tazobactam (1:1; WCK 4282), a novel antibacterial combination consisting of the β-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam and a fourth-generation cephalosporin, is under clinical development for the treatment of serious Gram-negative infections. A quality control (QC) study was performed to establish disk diffusion and MIC ranges for cefepime-tazobactam for multiple QC reference strains. The cefepime-tazobactam QC ranges for a fixed tazobactam MIC of 8 μg/ml and disk diffusion (30/20-μg disk) test methods were approved by the CLSI Subcommittee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing in January 2015 and January 2016. These QC ranges will be important for accurate
