New evidence on the use of fosfomycin for bacteremia and infectious endocarditis.
Review in Revista espanola de quimioterapia : publicacion oficial de la Sociedad Espanola de Quimioterapia, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
There is growing concern regarding the increased resistance rates of numerous pathogens and the limited availability of new antibiotics against these pathogens. In this context, fosfomycin is of considerable interest due to its activity against a wide spectrum of these microorganisms. We will review the encouraging data on this issue regarding the use of fosfomycin in treating Gram-negative bacterial infections. We will also cover fosfomycin's role against 2 of the main causal agents of bacteremia and endocarditis worldwide (nosocomial and community-acquired): enterococci, whose growing resistance to glycopeptides and aminoglycosides represents a serious threat, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, whose infection, despite efforts, continues to be associated with high morbidity and mortality and a high risk of complications. Thanks also to its considerable synergistic capacity with various antibiotics, fosfomycin is a tool for extending the therapeutic arsenal against these types of infections.
