The oral penems and carbapenems.
Review in Clinical microbiology reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
SUMMARYThe penem and carbapenem antibiotics provide some of the broadest spectrum coverage available and generally should only be used when narrower options are unavailable. The majority of available carbapenems can only be administered parenterally, but two orally administered penems (faropenem and sulopenem) and one orally administered carbapenem (tebipenem) are in increased use due to approvals in new markets. These oral agents have a spectrum of activity similar to widely used parenteral carbapenems but are simpler to administer than intravenous agents and will likely experience rapid increases in their rates of use as they are approved in new markets. In this review, we discuss their spectra of activity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical efficacy, toxicity, antimicrobial stewardship considerations, and potential clinical applications.
