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

Acinetobacter baumannii complex (ABC) can result in a panoply of severe syndromes, including pneumonia and septic shock. Options available for treating infections caused by ABC and, more importantly, by carbapenem-resistant ABC (CRAB) are limited because of the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance. Furthermore, many older agents, such as polymyxin and colistin, have limited lung penetration and are associated with significant toxicities. These factors underscore the urgent need for new paradigms to address ABC and CRAB. Two agents, cefiderocol and sulbactam-durlobactam, are now available to treat CRAB infections. In addition, several anti-infectives that target CRAB are in later-stage clinical trials. In order to place these newer molecules in context and to help clinicians appreciate the emerging potential drug development pipeline, we describe the in vitro activity, mechanisms of action, and clinical trial data not only for the commercially now available alternatives, such as cefiderocol and sulbactam-durlobactam, but also review these topics for molecules undergoing phase II and III clinical trials. Specifically, we discuss and analyze data related to four novel drugs from ABC: BV-100, cefepime-zidebactam, zosurabalpin, and OMN6.
