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

Off-label use of dalbavancin for deep-seated and endovascular infections has been increasing. We performed a scoping review to evaluate the evidence for use of multiple-dose dalbavancin regimens as the predominant therapy for these indications. Predominant therapy was defined as use of dalbavancin without other concurrent antibiotics for more than half of the total treatment duration. Fifteen publications were identified; 2 were small, open-label randomized controlled trials and the remainder were retrospective observational studies or case reports. A total of 144 cases from these publications met eligibility criteria for inclusion in this review. Types of infections included osteoarticular infections, catheter-related or complicated bloodstream infections, and infective endocarditis. Overall, the evidence for use of multiple-dose regimens of dalbavancin for deep-seated and endovascular infections is limited by a paucity of data from controlled trials, heterogeneity of dosing regimens, and a lack of standardized clinical outcomes.
