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

Avibactam is a non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor that has been approved in combination with ceftazidime for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections, complicated urinary tract infections, and nosocomial pneumonia, including ventilator-associated pneumonia. In Europe, ceftazidime-avibactam is also approved for the treatment of Gram-negative infections with limited treatment options. Selection and validation of the ceftazidime-avibactam dosage regimen was guided by an iterative process of population pharmacokinetic (PK) modelling, whereby population PK models for ceftazidime and avibactam were developed using PK data from clinical trials and updated periodically. These models were used in probability of target attainment (PTA) simulations using joint pharmacodynamic (PD) targets for ceftazidime and avibactam derived from preclinical data. Joint PTA was calculated based on the simultaneous achievement of the individual PK/PD targets (50% free time above the ceftazidime-avibactam MIC for ceftazidime and free time above a critical avibactam threshold concentration of 1 mg/liter for avibactam). The joint PTA analyses supported a ceftazidime-avibactam dosage regimen of 2,000 + 500 mg every 8 h by 2-h intravenous infusion for patients with creatinine clearance (CL
