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

Due to the low level of resistance observed with daptomycin, this antibiotic has an important place in the treatment of severe Gram-positive infections. It is the first-in-class of the group of calcium-dependent, membrane-binding lipopeptides, and is a cyclic peptide constituted of 13 amino acids and an n-decanoyl fatty acid chain. The antibacterial action of daptomycin requires its complexation with calcium. Daptomycin is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and needs to be administered parenterally. The distribution of daptomycin is limited (volume of distribution of 0.1 L/kg in healthy volunteers) due to its negative charge at physiological pH and its high binding to plasma proteins (about 90%). Its elimination is mainly renal, with about 50% of the dose excreted unchanged in the urine, justifying dosage adjustment for patients with renal insufficiency. The pharmacokinetics of daptomycin are altered under certain pathophysiological conditions, resulting in high interindividual variability. As a result, therapeutic drug monitoring of daptomycin may be of interest for certain patients, such as intensive care unit patients, patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency, dialysis patients, obese patients, or children. A target for the ratio of the area under the curve to the minimum inhibitory concentration > 666 is usually recommended for clinical efficacy, whereas in order to limit the risk of undesirable muscular effects the residual concentration should not exceed 24.3 mg/L.
