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

On 16 July, 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration approved imipenem-cilastatin/relebactam (Recarbrio™) for the treatment of adults with complicated urinary tract infections and complicated intra-abdominal infections. This decision was based on substantial clinical and pre-clinical data, including rigorous pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic work, and is an important step forward in the management of these debilitating conditions. This article provides an overview of the body of research associated with imipenem-cilastatin/relebactam, beginning with an examination of the fundamental underpinnings of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic index. This is followed by the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic work that led to the approval of this novel drug combination, including data derived from checkerboard and hollow fiber infection studies, as well as large, multi-center, phase III clinical trials known as RESTORE-IMI 1 and RESTORE-IMI 2. The article also explores how this important new antibiotic may be used to treat other infections in the years to come, including hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia attributed to imipenem-non-susceptible pathogens and certain atypical mycobacterial infections.
