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

backgroundMultidrug-resistant

methodsOne hundred and three MDRAB bacteria were isolated from patients in two hospitals in China. The Epsilomer test (E test) was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for amikacin, ceftazidime, cefepime, levofloxacin, rifampicin, cefoperazone-sulbactam, meropenem, tigecycline, and gentamicin against MDRAB isolates.

resultsApproximately 17.5% of the isolates were resistant to tigecycline, whereas more than 84.2% isolates were resistant to other antimicrobial agents tested in this study. Cefoperazone-sulbactam revealed remarkable synergistic effects when used in combination with either tigecycline or rifampicin. However, for the isolates with MICs lower than blood peak concentration after combination therapy, the ratio was lower in highly resistant isolates compared to the least resistant bacteria.
