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

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is often difficult to treat. Considering the current circumstances, there is an unquestionable need for new therapeutic options to treat CRAB infections. In the present study, the synergistic activity of sulbactam-based combination was determined against genetically characterized CRAB isolates. Non-duplicate CRAB isolates (n = 150) recovered from blood culture and endotracheal aspirates were included in this study. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of tetracyclines (minocycline, tigecycline, eravacycline) and their comparators (meropenem, sulbactam, cefoperazone/sulbactam, ceftazidime/avibactam, and colistin) were determined using the microbroth dilution method. Six isolates were tested for the synergistic activity of various sulbactam-based combinations using time-kill experiments. Tigecycline and minocycline showed a wide spread of MICs with most isolates in the range of 1 to 16 mg/L. The MIC
