Safety and effectiveness of tigecycline combination therapy in renal transplant patients with infection due to carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria.

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: Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacterial (CRGNB) infections are increasing among kidney transplant recipients, and effective therapeutic options are limited. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and adverse events associated with combination therapy tigecycline in renal transplant patients with CRGNB infections. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 40 Chinese patients with confirmed or suspected CRGNB infections who received tigecycline therapy. The patients' case features and clinical and microbiological data were analyzed. Results: A total of 40 renal transplant recipients received tigecycline therapy for a median duration of 9 (range, 3-25) days. CRGNB isolates were obtained from the organ preservation solution of the donor kidney in 28 patients, with confirmed transmission in 4 patients. Infections were detected in the bloodstream, urinary tract, sputum, and wound. The most prevalent isolates were Conclusion: Tigecycline therapy appears to be well tolerated in renal transplant recipients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Nevertheless, attention should be paid to adverse reactions related to tigecycline therapy, especially gastrointestinal reactions, and the related laboratory tests should be closely monitored.
