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

objectivesComplicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) are frequently encountered in hospitals and ICUs. Increasingly, the causative pathogens harbour enzymatic resistance mechanisms. Taniborbactam is a novel β-lactamase inhibitor with activity against Ambler class A, B, C and D β-lactamases. Herein, we assessed the efficacy of cefepime alone and the combination cefepime/taniborbactam in a neutropenic murine cUTI model.

methodsEighteen cefepime-resistant clinical isolates (9 Enterobacterales, 3 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 6 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia; cefepime MIC = 32 to >512 mg/L) were assessed. Cefepime/taniborbactam MICs ranged from 0.06 to 128 mg/L. Human-simulated plasma regimens (HSRs) of cefepime alone and in combination with taniborbactam were developed in the murine cUTI model. The efficacy of cefepime HSR and cefepime/taniborbactam HSR was determined as the change in log10 cfu/kidney at 48 h compared with 48 h controls.

resultsMean ± SD initial bacterial burden was 5.66 ± 0.56 log10 cfu/kidney, which increased to 9.05 ± 0.39 log10 cfu/kidney at 48 h. The cefepime HSR was ineffective, as bacterial burden was similar to untreated controls (-0.14 ± 0.40 change in log10 cfu/kidney). In contrast, cefepime/taniborbactam exhibited substantial killing, with log10 cfu/kidney changes of -5.48 ± 1.3, -4.79 ± 0.3 and -5.04 ± 0.7 for ESBL/AmpC-, KPC- and OXA-48-harbouring Enterobacterales, respectively. Cefepime/taniborbactam also exhibited robust killing of P. aeruginosa (-6.5 ± 0.26) and S. maltophilia (-5.66 ± 0.71).

conclusionsHumanized exposures of cefepime/taniborbactam achieved robust killing of Enterobacterales, P. aeruginosa and S. maltophilia harbouring ESBL, AmpC, KPC and/or OXA-48. These data support the role of cefepime/taniborbactam for cUTI treatment for cefepime/taniborbactam MICs up to 32 mg/L.
