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.

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.

Abstract

Objective: Ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) is an essential treatment option for managing infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative (G-) bacteria, including Methods: This is a single-center, randomized, open-label trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio, conducted at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb, a tertiary care hospital in Croatia. A total of 140 critically ill ICU patients with severe infections due to Outcomes: The primary outcome will be microbiological success rate, chosen as a key indicator of pathogen eradication that is directly influenced by PK/PD target attainment. Secondary outcomes will include clinical success rate, time to symptoms improvement, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, all-cause 28-day mortality, pathogen recurrence rate on day 28, time to weaning from mechanical ventilation, cumulative vasoactive-inotropic score, adverse events, and the ratio of ceftazidime plasma concentration to the pathogen's minimum inhibitory concentration (C/MIC). Conclusion: This trial will provide evidence on optimal CZA administration regimen in critically ill ICU patients with severe infections due to MDR G-pathogens.
