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

Sulbactam-durlobactam is a β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination currently in development for the treatment of infections caused by Acinetobacter, including multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates. Although sulbactam is a β-lactamase inhibitor of a subset of Ambler class A enzymes, it also demonstrates intrinsic antibacterial activity against a limited number of bacterial species, including Acinetobacter, and has been used effectively in the treatment of susceptible Acinetobacter-associated infections. Increasing prevalence of β-lactamase-mediated resistance, however, has eroded the effectiveness of sulbactam in the treatment of this pathogen. Durlobactam is a rationally designed β-lactamase inhibitor within the diazabicyclooctane (DBO) class. The compound demonstrates a broad spectrum of inhibition of serine β-lactamase activity with particularly potent activity against class D enzymes, an attribute which differentiates it from other DBO inhibitors. When combined with sulbactam, durlobactam effectively restores the susceptibility of resistant isolates through β-lactamase inhibition. The present review describes the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship associated with the activity of sulbactam and durlobactam established in nonclinical infection models with MDR Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. This information aids in the determination of PK/PD targets for efficacy, which can be used to forecast efficacious dose regimens of the combination in humans.
