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

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a worldwide healthcare emergency. Whether insufficient beta-lactam antibiotic concentrations can be associated with AMR emergence remains controversial. This is a retrospective single-center cohort study including patients admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary university hospital from 2009 to 2014, who required a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic and had at least one therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Patients were categorized as having inadequate drug levels if the trough concentration (Cmin) fell below the clinical breakpoint for
