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

introductionMultidrug-resistant

methodsA single-center retrospective observational study between January 2017 and December 2018 for patients who had been diagnosed with carbapenem-resistant

resultsA total of 19 patients fit the inclusion criteria, with a median age was 57 years, and 53% were female. The types of infections were nosocomial pneumonia, acute bacterial skin, and skin structure infections; complicated intra-abdominal infections; and central line-associated bloodstream infections. All of the isolates were resistant to both meropenem and imipenem. The duration of therapy was variable (average of 14 days). At day 14 of starting ceftolozane-tazobactam, 18 of 19 patients had a resolution of signs and symptoms of the infection. Only 14 of 19 patients (74%) had proven microbiological eradication observed at the end of therapy. During therapy, there was no adverse event secondary to ceftolozane-tazobactam, and no
