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

Alalevonadifloxacin (WCK 2349) is a novel l-alanine ester prodrug of levonadifloxacin that is being developed as an oral fluoroquinolone antibiotic. The primary objective of this study was to determine and compare plasma, epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and alveolar macrophage (AM) concentrations of levonadifloxacin following oral administration of alalevonadifloxacin to healthy adult subjects. Levonadifloxacin concentrations in plasma, ELF, and AM samples from 30 healthy subjects were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) following oral dosing of alalevonadifloxacin (1,000 mg twice daily for 5 days). Six subjects were assigned to each bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid sampling time, i.e., 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 h after the ninth oral dose. Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were determined from serial total plasma concentrations collected over a 12-h interval following the first and ninth oral doses. Penetration ratios were calculated from the areas under the concentration-time curves from 0 to 12 h (AUC
