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

backgroundThere is a growing concern about the association between the combined use of daptomycin (DAP) and statins and the occurrence of musculoskeletal adverse events (MAEs), but this remains controversial. This study aimed to clarify the association between statin use and DAP-related MAEs.

methodsWe used a mixed approach that combines 2 methodologies. First, we conducted a meta-analysis to examine the effects of statin use on DAP-related MAEs. Second, we conducted a disproportionality analysis using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) to further confirm the results of the meta-analysis and to examine the effect of each type of statin on DAP-related MAEs in a large population.

resultsIn the meta-analysis, statin use significantly increased the incidence of DAP-related rhabdomyolysis (odds ratio [OR]: 3.83; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.43-10.26) but not DAP-related myopathy (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: .95-3.12). In the disproportionality analysis using the FAERS, the use of statin significantly increased the reporting OR (ROR) for DAP-related myopathy (ROR: 5.69; 95% CI: 4.31-7.51) and rhabdomyolysis (ROR: 5.77; 95% CI: 4.33-7.68). Atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin all increased the incidence of DAP-related myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.

conclusionThe mixed approach combining a meta-analysis and disproportionality analysis showed that statin use was associated with the occurrence of DAP-related rhabdomyolysis. The appropriate use of statins and DAP should be performed with careful consideration of its safety.
