The Ins and Outs of Susceptibility Testing for New β-Lactam/β-Lactamase Inhibitor Combinations for Gram-Negative Organisms.
Review in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, and imipenem-relebactam are among the newest β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (BL/BLIs) introduced to the North American antibiotic market. All have broad Gram-negative activity, including against certain carbapenemases. Despite this, susceptibility testing is warranted due to variable activity against certain β-lactamases (e.g., oxacillinases) and the presence of acquired resistance mechanisms in some isolates. Here, we discuss what we know about these new antimicrobial agents and how to navigate implementation of susceptibility testing and reporting of these agents in clinical laboratories.
