Similarities and differences between doxycycline and minocycline: clinical and antimicrobial stewardship considerations.
Review in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Doxycycline and, to a lesser extent, minocycline, have been used for decades to treat various serious systemic infections, but many physicians remain unfamiliar with their spectrum, interpretation of susceptibility results, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) properties, optimal dosing regimens, and their activity against MRSA, VRE, and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli, e.g., Acinetobacter sp. This article reviews the optimal use of doxycycline and minocycline to treat a variety of infections and when minocycline is preferred instead of doxycycline.
