Impact of extended-infusion piperacillin-tazobactam in a Canadian community hospital.
Article in Infectious medicine, 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: Studies have demonstrated improved clinical outcomes with extended infusion (EI) piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP) compared to standard infusion (SI). However, there is less evidence on its benefits in noncritically-ill patients. Hospital-wide EI TZP was implemented at our site on February 21, 2012. Our objectives were to compare clinical, safety and economic outcomes between EI and SI TZP. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of all adult patients who received EI TZP (3.375 g IV q8h infused over 4 hours and SI TZP for ≥ 48 hours during 3 years pre-and postimplementation was conducted. The primary study outcome was 14-day mortality while secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay (LOS), nursing plus pharmacy cost, occurrence of Results: Overall, 2034 patients received EI TZP and 1364 patients received SI TZP. EI TZP was associated with lower odds of mortality (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.63-0.91), lower odds of Conclusions: Hospital-wide implementation of EI TZP was associated with lower odds of 14-day mortality and incidence of
