Applying Pharmacodynamics and Antimicrobial Stewardship to Pediatric Preseptal and Orbital Cellulitis.
Review in Paediatric drugs, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Orbital and preseptal cellulitis are most commonly caused by organisms that originate in the upper respiratory tract or from the skin. There is significant variation in antibiotics used, but ampicillin-sulbactam, ceftriaxone, metronidazole, clindamycin, amoxicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, cefuroxime, and vancomycin are often used in the treatment of these infections. The choice of antibiotic, however, is only one consideration. It is also important that antibiotics are dosed to optimize their pharmacodynamic target attainment. Like other serious infections, therapy can be transitioned from initial intravenous therapy to an oral regimen when there are clear signs of clinical and laboratory improvement. The total duration of therapy for these infections have also been decreasing in recent years with durations of approximately 2 weeks becoming more common, even for orbital or subperiosteal infections. Antimicrobial stewardship programs can work closely with providers who manage these infections to create pathways, choose optimal antibiotics and dosage, transition from intravenous to oral therapy, and provide shortest effective durations.
