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

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Methods: We report a case of severe infection by CRAB resistant to both colistin and cefiderocol treated with sulbactam/durlobactam and describe the molecular features of the strain. Susceptibility to cefiderocol was detected by disc diffusion according to EUCAST breakpoints. Susceptibility to sulbactam/durlobactam was determined by Etest according to preliminary breakpoints provided by Entasis Therapeutics. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) of the CRAB isolate was performed. Results: A burn patient with ventilator-associated pneumonia by CRAB resistant to colistin and cefiderocol received sulbactam/durlobactam as compassionate use. She was alive after 30 days from the end of therapy. Complete microbiological eradication of CRAB was achieved. The isolate harboured Conclusions: Further treatment options for severe infections by CRAB resistant to all available antibiotics are urgently needed. Sulbactam/durlobactam may be a future option against MDR
