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

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa presents a serious threat to public health due to its widespread resistance to numerous antibiotics. P. aeruginosa commonly causes nosocomial infections including urinary tract infections (UTI) which have become increasingly difficult to treat. The lack of effective therapeutic agents has renewed interest in fosfomycin, an old drug discovered in the 1960s and approved prior to the rigorous standards now required for drug approval. Fosfomycin has a unique structure and mechanism of action, making it a favorable therapeutic alternative for MDR pathogens that are resistant to other classes of antibiotics. The absence of susceptibility breakpoints for fosfomycin against P. aeruginosa limits its clinical use and interpretation due to extrapolation of breakpoints established for Escherichia coli or
