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

Rapid in vitro assessment of antimicrobial drug efficacy under clinically relevant pharmacokinetic conditions is an essential element of both drug development and clinical use. Here, we present a comprehensive overview of a recently developed novel integrated methodology for rapid assessment of such efficacy, particularly against the emergence of resistant bacterial strains, as jointly researched by the authors in recent years. This methodology enables rapid in vitro assessment of the antimicrobial efficacy of single or multiple drugs in combination, following clinically relevant pharmacokinetics. The proposed methodology entails (a) the automated collection of longitudinal time-kill data in an optical-density instrument; (b) the processing of collected time-kill data with the aid of a mathematical model to determine optimal dosing regimens under clinically relevant pharmacokinetics for single or multiple drugs; and (c) in vitro validation of promising dosing regimens in a hollow fiber system. Proof-of-concept of this methodology through a number of in vitro studies is discussed. Future directions for the refinement of optimal data collection and processing are discussed.
