Impact of ceftazidime-avibactam on mortality in bloodstream infections: a cohort study in patients with acute leukemia.

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: Bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by carbapenemase-producing Objective: To determine the impact of ceftazidime-avibactam on mortality due to BSI caused by CPE in patients with acute leukemia. Design: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins in Lima, Peru. Methods: We included patients diagnosed with acute leukemia who developed BSI due to CPE during their hospital stays. Mortality was assessed for up to 30 days after BSI onset. Results: We evaluated 41 patients with a median age of 51 years; 56.1% had acute myeloid leukemia and 43.9% had acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Mortality at 30 days occurred in 60.9% of patients. The most frequent type of chemotherapy administered was induction (51.2%). Empiric antibiotic therapy with meropenem was administered to 97.6% of the patients, and ceftazidime-avibactam was prescribed as a targeted therapy to 48.8%. In the multivariate Cox regression model, the prescription of ceftazidime-avibactam reduced the risk of death (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.29; 95% CI: 0.09-0.92; Conclusion: In patients with acute leukemia who developed bloodstream infections due to CPE during hospitalization, the prescription of ceftazidime-avibactam reduced 30-day mortality risk.
