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

The rise in infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria has necessitated a variety of clinical approaches, including the use of antibiotic combinations. Here, we tested the hypothesis that drug-drug interactions vary in different media, and determined which IMPORTANCE: Drug-resistant bacterial infections are a growing concern and have only continued to increase during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Though not routinely used for Gram-negative bacteria, drug combinations are sometimes used for serious infections and may become more widely used as the prevalence of extremely drug-resistant organisms increases. To date, reliable methods are not available for identifying beneficial drug combinations for a particular infection. Our study shows variability across strains in how drug interactions are impacted by growth conditions. It also demonstrates that testing drug combinations in tissue-relevant growth conditions for some strains better models what happens during infection and may better inform combination therapy selection.
