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

Selection of the avibactam concentration to combine with ceftazidime in susceptibility testing was determined using Gram-negative isolates with characterized β-lactamases predefined as susceptible or resistant, based on the known inhibition spectrum of avibactam. MIC values were determined by broth microdilution of ceftazidime with fixed concentrations and ratios of avibactam. A constant concentration of 4 μg/ml of avibactam was selected for susceptibility testing with ceftazidime because of its ability to correctly categorize susceptible and resistant isolates while minimizing categorical errors.
