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

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of different ratios of cefoperazone/sulbactam in the treatment of patients with pyelonephritis. Methods: In this retrospective study clinical records of patients with pyelonephritis treated in Huzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from July 2020 to July 2021 were collected,. It included 55 patients who received cefoperazone/sulbactam 2:1 treatment (Control group) and 57 patients who received 1 cefoperazone/sulbactam 1:1 treatment (Observation group). Clinical response, inflammatory reaction and bacterial clearance were compared between the two groups. Results: The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and leukocyte count (WBC) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( Conclusions: The clinical efficacy of 1:1 ratio of cefoperazone/sulbactam in the treatment of patients with pyelonephritis was superior that of 2:1 ratio. This ratio allows to fully utilize the antibacterial effect of cefoperazone, with a significant decrease in inflammation markers and an improvement in bacterial clearance.
