A systematic review of dalbavancin efficacy as a sequential therapy for infective endocarditis.
Synthesis in Infection, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionDalbavancin is an antibiotic characterized by an extended half-life and efficacy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococci. Currently, there are only narrative reviews summarizing the evidence about the use of dalbavancin for infective endocarditis (IE), many of which are focused primarily on its use as consolidation therapy. For this reason, we conducted a systematic review to describe the clinical efficacy and the safety of dalbavancin in IE treatment.
methodsWe searched for available evidence using the MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Web of Science libraries, with no restrictions regarding the publication year. The risk of bias was performed using the Cochrane ROBINS-I tool for the comparative studies and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for descriptive studies.
resultsNine studies were included. All of them were observational. Native valve endocarditis was the most common kind of IE found in the studies' populations (128/263, 48.7%), followed by prosthetic valve endocarditis, and cardiovascular implantable electronic device-related endocarditis. Coagulase-negative Staphylococci were the most common pathogens isolated (83/269, 30.1%), followed by S. aureus, Enterococci spp and Streptococci spp. Five out of nine studies documented a clinical failure rate of less than 10%. Dalbavancin showed a favourable safety profile. Dalbavancin appears to be a promising option for the consolidation therapy of IE. However, further studies comparing dalbavancin with standard of care are needed. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42023430032.
