An investigation of broad-spectrum antibiotic-induced liver injury based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System and retrospective observational study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Tazobactam/piperacillin and meropenem are commonly used as an empiric treatment in patients with severe bacterial infections. However, few studies have investigated the cause of tazobactam/piperacillin- or meropenem-induced liver injury in them. Our objective was to evaluate the association between tazobactam/piperacillin or meropenem and liver injury in the intensive care unit patients. We evaluated the expression profiles of antibiotics-induced liver injury using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Further, in the retrospective observational study, data of patients who initiated tazobactam/piperacillin or meropenem in the intensive care unit were extracted. In FAERS database, male, age, the fourth-generation cephalosporin, carbapenem, β-lactam and β-lactamase inhibitor combination, and complication of sepsis were associated with liver injury (p < 0.001). In the retrospective observational study, multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that the risk factors for liver injury included male (p = 0.046), administration period ≥ 7 days (p < 0.001), and alanine aminotransferase (p = 0.031). Not only administration period but also sex and alanine aminotransferase should be considered when clinicians conduct the monitoring of liver function in the patients receiving tazobactam/piperacillin or meropenem.
