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

Background: Methods: A clinical and microbiological observational study of patients with bloodstream infections due to New Delhi metallo-ß-lactamase-producing Results: Twenty-nine patients receiving empiric non-MBL-active β-lactams (median duration, 4 days) were compared with 29 receiving MBL-active β-lactams. The 14-day mortality rates were 21% and 14%, respectively. In the murine septicemia model, meropenem treatment resulted in protection from mortality ( Conclusions: Our data provide foundational support to establish pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships using MICs derived in physiologic zinc concentration, which may better predict β-lactam therapy outcome.
