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 optimal doses of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T) for treating multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PSA) in patients utilizing renal replacement therapy (RRT) are not well established. Hence, the objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes associated with the suggested doses of CZA and C/T in patients with PSA infection utilizing RRT.

methodsThis is a retrospective study conducted at our hospital between September 2018 and March 2022. Clinical cure was the primary endpoint, while microbiologic cure, 30-day recurrence, and 30-day mortality were the secondary endpoints.

resultsIn total, 45 subjects met the inclusion criteria, with 25 receiving CZA and 20 receiving C/T. The median age was 69 (52-81) and 69 (61.5-83) years, respectively, while the median weight was 70 (55.5-81.5) and 66 (57-79) kg, respectively. Clinical cure was achieved in 12 (48%) subjects in the CZA group and 12 (60%) in the C/T group (

conclusionsOur findings indicated that C/T and CZA did not significantly differ in achieving clinical cure in patients with MDR PSA infections undergoing RRT. Larger clinical trials are needed to confirm our findings.
