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

Purpose: To test cefiderocol, a siderophore-cephalosporin antibiotic for topical monotherapy treatment of experimental extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Design: Preclinical study. Subjects and Controls: Deidentified Methods Intervention or Testing: Cefiderocol antibacterial activity against Main Outcome Measures: Minimum inhibitory concentration analysis for susceptibility, graded tests for ocular toxicity/tolerability, colony-forming unit (CFU) analysis for bacterial burden, corneal cefiderocol concentrations. Results: One hundred percent of Conclusions: These results demonstrate that cefiderocol is well tolerated on rabbit corneas and is effective against Financial Disclosures: Proprietary or commercial disclosure may be found in the Footnotes and Disclosures at the end of this article.
