Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics and tolerability of cefiderocol in the clinical setting.
Review in Revista espanola de quimioterapia : publicacion oficial de la Sociedad Espanola de Quimioterapia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Cefiderocol is a new cephalosporin with a catechol in its chemical structure faciliting its access to the interior of bacteria through iron channels. In addition, it is broadly stable to beta-lactamases. The pharmacokinetic profile is a beta-lactam one: no oral absorption, and with a wide distribution within the vascular space and the interstitial fluid of well vascularized tissues, reaching therapeutic concentrations in the alveolar lavage fluid and within the macrophage. The binding of cefiderocol to human plasma proteins, primarily albumin, is moderate (range 40-60%). The terminal elimination half-life in healthy adult subjects was 2 to 3 hours. Cefiderocol is mainly renally eliminated, so dose adjustments are recommended in subjects with moderate / severe renal impairment, in case of dialysis, and probably in patients with external clearance. Like other beta-lactams, the PK / PD parameter that has been shown to best correlate with efficacy is the efficacy time of unbound plasma concentrations (%fT>MIC), which must be close to 100% to achieve a bactericidal effect. This is possible with 2 g in a 3-hour infusion every 8 hours. In controlled trials appears to be well tolerated, similar to comparators: meropenem or imipenem-cilastatin. Cefiderocol has no apparent clinically significant effect on ECG parameters nor on plasma iron values.
