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

purposeAchromobacter spp. may form biofilm in patients' respiratory tracts and cause serious infections. This research examined the bactericidal and synergistic effects of ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) alone and in combination with different antibiotics against Achromobacter spp.

methodsMICs of 52 Achromobacter spp. were determined by broth microdilution. In-vitro time-kill curve experiments assessed CZA's bactericidal and synergistic properties alone and in combination with other antibiotics. Moreover, the antibiofilm activity of CZA alone or in combination with the antibiotics was assessed with using microplate method.

resultsBased on MIC

conclusionThe outcomes of this research also suggest that CZA plus colistin, meropenem, or ciprofloxacin were more productive against Achromobacter strains. To our knowledge, this is the first article to evaluate the synergistic and antibiofilm activities of CZA alone or in combination with different agents against Achromobacter species.
