In vitro Synergistic Activity of Ceftazidime-Avibactam in Combination with Aztreonam or Meropenem Against Clinical Enterobacterales Producing
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: It is often challenging to select appropriate combination therapies to treat infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) with high-level resistance to carbapenem. Methods: We investigated the in vitro synergistic activity of ceftazidime-avibactam-, polymyxin- or tigecycline-, and meropenem-based combinations using checkerboard assays against 16 CRE including Results: Meropenem in combination with ertapenem, amikacin, tigecycline or polymyxin B, and tigecycline plus ceftazidime-avibactam showed weak synergistic activities against CR1- Conclusion: Ceftazidime-avibactam plus aztreonam or meropenem could be an effective strategy for treating CRE infections, particularly those with high-level resistance to carbapenems and/or ceftazidime-avibactam.
