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 global rise of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens, including the widespread resistance to beta-lactams through the production of β-lactamases, like extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), has led to the increasing use of last-line antibiotics such as carbapenems. Subsequently, the worldwide emergence of carbapenemase-producing pathogens poses a formidable challenge. The combination ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) has emerged as a pivotal agent in the management of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections. Avibactam, a novel β-lactamase inhibitor, demonstrates a wider spectrum of activity against Ambler Class A, C, and partially D β-lactamases in comparison to older inhibitors, thus enhancing the antimicrobial activity of ceftazidime against organisms producing ESBL and carbapenemases, such as oxacillinase (OXA)-type and
