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

SPR741 is a novel polymyxin B derivative, with minimal intrinsic antibacterial activity and reduced nonclinical nephrotoxicity compared to levels with polymyxin B, that interacts with the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, enhancing penetration of coadministered antibiotics. The safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of SPR741 were evaluated in two studies, after single and multiple intravenous (i.v.) doses in healthy adult subjects and after coadministration with partner antibiotics. In the single and multiple ascending-dose study, SPR741 or placebo was administered as a 1-h infusion at single doses of 5 to 800 mg and in multiple doses of 50 to 600 mg every 8 h (q8h) for 14 days. In the drug-drug interaction study, a single 400-mg i.v. dose of SPR741 was administered alone and in combination with piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftazidime, and aztreonam. PK parameters for SPR741 and partner antibiotics were determined using noncompartmental analysis. After single doses, a dose-linear and proportional increase in mean maximum concentration in plasma (
