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

Tigecycline is a novel glycylcycline broad-spectrum antibiotic offering good coverage for critically ill patients experiencing complicated infections. A known side effect is a coagulation disorder with distinct hypofibrinogenemia. To date, the information on possible risk factors and outcomes is sparse. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the time course of fibrinogen level changes during tigecycline therapy in critically ill patients. Moreover, we sought to identify risk factors for coagulopathy and to report on clinically important outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed all intensive care patients admitted to our General and Surgical Intensive Care Unit receiving tigecycline between 2010 and 2018. A total of 130 patients were stratified into two groups based on the extent of fibrinogen decrease. Patients with a greater fibrinogen decrease received a higher dose, a longer treatment and more dose changes of tigecycline, respectively. In regard to the underlying pathology, these patients showed higher inflammation markers as well as a slightly reduced liver synthesis capacity. We, therefore, conclude that such a fibrinogen decrease may be based upon further impairment of liver synthesis during severe inflammatory states. To decrease the risk of bleeding, cautious monitoring of coagulation in critically ill patients treated with high-dose tigecycline is warranted.
