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

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the leading causes of admission to emergency departments. Ceftaroline is a fifth-generation cephalosporin with a potent In vitro activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Staphylococcus aureus, the three most important pathogens causing CAP. Three randomized and double-blind clinical trials compared the efficacy of ceftaroline versus ceftriaxone in patients with CAP and the results of each trial and a meta-analysis, concluded the superiority of ceftaroline in terms of clinical success. In particular, the major difference was observed among patients with CAP caused by S. aureus. Accordingly, ceftaroline has been included as a first-line option in the recent clinical guidelines for the management of CAP.
