Weighing the Odds: Novel β-Lactam/β-Lactamase Inhibitor Use in Hospital-Acquired and Ventilator-Associated
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Methods: This retrospective study was based on a cohort of patients hospitalized at 2 urban academic medical centers in Detroit, Michigan, from August 2014 through February 2021 with Results: In total, 285 patients with HABP (61.4%) and/or VABP (56.1%) were enrolled (morbidly obese, n = 95; non-morbidly obese, n = 190). The median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score was 23 (IQR, 13-26), and 60% of patients were admitted to the intensive care unit at index culture collection. Patients who were morbidly obese demonstrated significantly greater odds of presumed treatment failure vs those who were non-morbidly obese (58.9% vs 37.9%, respectively; adjusted odds ratio, 1.675 [95% CI, 1.465-1.979]). In multivariable analysis, morbid obesity (1.06; 95% CI, 1.02-1.79), prolonged time to BL/BLI initiation (1.47; 95% CI, 1.28-2.66), renal dose-adjusted BL/BLI in the first 48 hours of therapy (1.12; 95% CI, 1.09-1.75), and continuous renal replacement therapy during BL/BLI therapy (1.35; 95% CI, 1.06-1.68) were independently associated with increased odds of presumed treatment failure. Conclusions: Among hospitalized patients receiving BL/BLI for
