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

The recommended therapeutic target for vancomycin for serious methicillin-resistant S. aureus infections is an area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) over 24 h to a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratio of ≥ 400. Its applicability to coagulase-negative staphylococcal (CoNS) bloodstream infections is unclear. Our review aims to determine the pharmacodynamic target of vancomycin for CoNS bloodstream infections. In January 2025, MEDLINE, Embase, and PubMed were searched to identify manuscripts reporting the relationship between vancomycin drug exposure (AUC) and bactericidal activity or clinical response for CoNS. Studies of alternative drug delivery systems/formulations, combination therapy, prophylaxis, other infections, and static in vitro studies were excluded. Overall, six articles were included. One in vivo study in young infants found that an AUC
