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

(1) Background: Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria represent one of the major global public health problems of the 21st century. Beta-lactam antibacterial agents are commonly used to treat infections due to Gram-negative pathogens. New β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations are urgently needed. Combining relebactam (REL) with imipenem (IMI) and cilastatin (CS) can restore its activity against many imipenem-nonsusceptible Gram-negative pathogens. (2) Methods: we performed a systematic review of the studies reporting on the use of in vivo REAL/IPM/CS. (3) Results: A total of eight studies were included in this review. The primary diagnosis was as follows: complicated urinary tract infection (
