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

backgroundEravacycline is a novel fluorocycline approved for treatment of intraabdominal infections, with a broad spectrum of activity against a range of pathogens including multidrug-resistant species, including ESBL- or KPC-producing isolates. It is approved for twice-daily dosing with no need for adjustment in renal dysfunction. In the concomitant administration with CYP 3A4-inducing drugs, eravacycline dosing should be modified.

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of eravacycline in a range of infections such as intraabdominal infections, pneumonia and diabetic foot infections in seriously ill patients.

methodsA retrospective observational cohort study using electronic patient records of 50 consecutive patients administered eravacycline during inpatient acute care admission or as part of outpatient antibiotic therapy (OPAT).

resultsTherapy of 1.5 mg/kg q24h was initiated in the hospital in most patients, although some of the less sick were managed in the office or OPAT setting. All patients concluded their management outside of the hospital. Of the 50 patients, 47 (94%) achieved clinical resolution of their infection and 3 (6%) clinical failures occurred. Only three (6%) patients did not have comorbidities, three had a single comorbidity (6%), and the majority (88%) of patients had two or more comorbidities. Most common infections were intraabdominal (36%), pneumonia (18%), diabetic foot (12%), spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (8%) and empyema (8%). Almost half of infections had more than one pathogen isolated, and resistant isolates were frequent. The drug was well tolerated with only two reports of nausea, which did not result in treatment discontinuation, and in 30 days of post-eravacycline therapy only one case of Clostridiodes difficile.

conclusionsIn this real-world setting, eravacycline demonstrated a similar high level of clinical efficacy as seen in clinical trials, 94%, in a variety of infections, including against multidrug-resistant bacteria, and was well tolerated.
