Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis of sulbactam against
Article in JAC-antimicrobial resistance, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Sulbactam is an effective therapy for Methods: Sulbactam (dosed as ampicillin-sulbactam) bronchopulmonary PK was assessed in the neutropenic murine pneumonia model. The percentage of the dosing interval during which the free drug concentration remained above the MIC (% Results: Median (IQR) % Conclusion: Based on the ELF assessment, the maximum FDA approved dose of sulbactam (1 g q6h 0.5h infusion) provided >90% PTA for isolates with sulbactam MIC only up to 2 mg/L. Nevertheless, sulbactam 3 g q8h for 4 hours of infusion achieved higher PTA and conferred additional benefit against sulbactam-susceptible/intermediate isolates.
