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

The use of antibiotics to manage infectious diseases dates back to ancient civilization, but the lack of a clear distinction between the therapeutic and toxic dose has been a major challenge. This precipitates the notion that antibiotic resistance was from time immemorial, principally because of a lack of adequate knowledge of therapeutic doses and continuous exposure of these bacteria to suboptimal plasma concentration of antibiotics. With the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1924, a milestone in bacterial infections' treatment was achieved. This forms the foundation for the modern era of antibiotic drugs. Antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, quinolones, tetracycline, macrolides, sulphonamides, aminoglycosides and glycopeptides are the mainstay in managing severe bacterial infections, but resistant strains of bacteria have emerged and hampered the progress of research in this field. Recently, new approaches to research involving bacteria resistance to antibiotics have appeared; these involve combining the molecular understanding of bacteria systems with the knowledge of bioinformatics. Consequently, many molecules have been developed to curb resistance associated with different bacterial infections. However, because of increased emphasis on the clinical relevance of antibiotics, the synergy between
