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

Cefiderocol, a novel parenteral siderophore cephalosporin, exhibits potent in vitro activity and in vivo efficacy against most gram-negative bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant strains of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. In phase 1 studies, cefiderocol demonstrated linear pharmacokinetics, primarily urinary excretion, an elimination half-life of 2-3 hours, and a protein binding of 58% in human plasma. Cefiderocol is a time-dependent cephalosporin; the probability of a target attainment at ≥75% of the dosing interval during which the free drug concentration exceeds the minimum inhibitory concentration (ƒT/MIC) for bacterial strains with an MIC of ≤4 μg/mL is likely to be achieved at the therapeutic dose of 2 g over 3-hour infusion every 8 hours in most patients. As expected, renal function markers were the most influential covariates for the pharmacokinetics of cefiderocol for patients with renal impairment or augmented renal clearance (ARC). Dose adjustment is recommended for patients with impaired renal function, and additionally, in ARC patients with creatinine clearance >120 mL/minute, a more frequent dosing regimen (ie, 2 g every 6 hours) was predicted to achieve the target fT > MIC. The single and multiple doses of cefiderocol tested were well tolerated in both healthy subjects and those with renal impairment. Furthermore, neither QT interval prolongation nor drug-drug interaction via organic anion transporters was demonstrated in healthy subjects. Cefiderocol is being investigated in phase 3 clinical studies for the treatment of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant bacteria.
