Impact of Susceptibility to Injectable Antibiotics on the Treatment Outcomes of
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCurrent guidelines recommend a susceptibility-based regimen for
methodsWe enrolled MAB-PD patients treated with intravenous amikacin and beta-lactams for ≥4 weeks at 4 referral hospitals in Seoul, South Korea. Culture conversion and microbiological cure at 1 year were evaluated based on susceptibility to injectable antibiotics among patients treated with those antibiotics for ≥2 weeks.
resultsA total of 82 patients were analyzed. The mean age was 58.7 years, and 65.9% were women. Sputum culture conversion and microbiological cure were achieved in 52.4% and 41.5% of patients, respectively. Amikacin was the most common agent to which the
conclusionsWe did not find evidence supporting the use of susceptibility-based treatment with intravenous amikacin and beta-lactams in patients with MAB-PD. Further research is required.
