Comparative Risk of Acute Kidney Injury with Piperacillin-Tazobactam Plus Teicoplanin Versus Piperacillin-Tazobactam Plus Vancomycin: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Drug safety, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPiperacillin-tazobactam combined with vancomycin is widely employed for broad-spectrum empiric coverage but has been increasingly associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). The comparative renal safety of substituting vancomycin with teicoplanin remains uncertain.
objectiveThis meta-analysis aimed to evaluate renal outcomes between piperacillin-tazobactam plus teicoplanin (TZP-TEI) versus piperacillin-tazobactam plus vancomycin (TZP-VAN).
methodsPubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Central were searched for studies comparing TZP-TEI versus TZP-VAN in hospitalized patients. The primary outcome was AKI incidence, defined by Kidney disease: Improving global outcomes (KDIGO) or RIFLE (Risk of renal dysfunction, Injury to kidney, Failure or Loss of kidney function, and End-stage kidney disease) criteria. Data were analyzed using Review Manager, with heterogeneity assessed via the I
resultsA total of 908 patients were included from five cohort studies, four of which applied propensity-score matching (PSM), with reported ages ranging from 56.8 to 79 years. The TZP-TEI regimen was associated with a significantly reduced rate of AKI compared with TZP-VAN (odds ratio [OR] 0.52; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.30-0.89; p = 0.02; I
conclusionThe TZP-TEI combination was associated with a significantly lower incidence of AKI than was TZP-VAN. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings, optimize teicoplanin dosing within the TZP-TEI combination, and inform therapeutic drug monitoring implementation in high-risk hospitalized patients.
