Implementation of a Collaborated Antimicrobial Stewardship Program and Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) Unit-driven Monoclonal Antibody Therapy Program for COVID-19 at an NYC Hospital.
Article in International journal of infectious diseases : IJID : official publication of the International Society for Infectious Diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the processes and clinical outcomes of a joint collaboration between Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) and the outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) unit for delivery of monoclonal antibody therapy for mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
methodsWe carried out a retrospective, interim analysis of our COVID-19 monoclonal antibody therapy program. Outcomes included clinical response, incidence of hospitalization, and adverse events.
resultsA total of 175 patients (casirivimab-imdevimab, n = 130; bamlanivimab, n = 45) were treated between December 2020 and March 1, 2021. The median time from symptom onset was 6 (IQR 4, 8) days at time of treatment. Of 135 patients available for follow-up, 71.9% and 85.9% of patients reported symptom improvement within 3 and 7 days of treatment, respectively. A total of 9 (6.7%) patients required COVID-19-related hospitalization for progression of symptoms, all within 14 days of treatment. A total of 7 (4%) patients experienced an infusion-related reaction.
conclusionsASP-OPAT collaboration is a novel approach to implement an efficient and safe monoclonal antibody therapy program for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
