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

Complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs) are commonly associated with multimicroorganisms and treatment choices are becoming narrower due to developing resistance, especially in the gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae species. Eravacycline is a newly developed, fully synthetic tetracycline derivative that has shown potent broad-spectrum activity against a wide variety of microorganisms, including those such as extended spectrum β-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter. Eravacycline has shown activity against many gram-positive organisms such as methicillin-resistant S. aureus and vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium (VRE), gram-negative organisms such as Escherichia coli, and anaerobic species of microorganisms such as Bacteroides. This fluorocycline has been compared to ertapenem and meropenem for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections and levofloxacin for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections. Eravacycline was shown to be noninferior to ertapenem but did not meet noninferiority criteria in comparison to levofloxacin. Oral and IV formulations on eravacycline were tested in clinical trials, but at this time, only the IV formulation is FDA approved. Eravacycline has been noted to have a half-life of 20 h with protein binding around 80%; AUC over minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) has also been shown to be eravacycline's best predictor of efficacy. Of note, eravacycline does not require any renal dose adjustments, as the majority of its clearance is by nonrenal pathways.
