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

Taniborbactam (TAN) is an investigational β-lactamase inhibitor in clinical development combined with cefepime for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by broad-spectrum β-lactamase-expressing bacteria. Its spectrum of inhibition encompasses all classes of β-lactamases, including clinically important metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) NDM-1 and VIM-2. However, TAN lacks a significant inhibition of imipenemase-type β-lactamases. Rare TAN-resistant New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) or Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase (VIM) variants (namely NDM-9, NDM-30, and VIM-83) have been identified. The NitroSpeed Taniborbactam NP test was developed to rapidly assess the β-lactamase inhibitory activity of TAN against various β-lactamases, particularly serving as an efficient tool for identifying compounds with potential activity against different types of MBLs. The test is based on the hydrolysis of (i) nitrocefin (to determine the presence or absence of β-lactamase), (ii) ertapenem (to confirm the presence or the absence of carbapenemase), and (iii) TAN (to assess whether the carbapenemase is inhibited by TAN). The test was validated using a collection of 134 genetically characterized clinical isolates (103 Enterobacterales and 31 Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The NitroSpeed Taniborbactam NP test is simple, easy to perform, and provides results within ≤15 min. When evaluated against a broad set of β-lactamases, the test demonstrated 100% sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.
