Long-acting glycopeptides: what are the barriers to access in patients who need them most, and how can they be overcome?
Article in The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy, 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
Long-acting glycopeptide antibiotics (LGPs), such as dalbavancin and oritavancin, are a novel class of antibiotic agents effective in the treatment of Gram-positive infections. The long half-life and relative ease of administration of LGPs make them a valuable treatment option for patients experiencing barriers to healthcare access. However, challenges for effective use remain, and disproportionately affect patients who would most benefit. These include high upfront costs, cost siloing, impractical and inconsistent medication approval processes and limited integration into existing multidisciplinary models of care. There is a clear need to improve funding arrangements, institutional workflows and models of care to promote safe and equitable access to LGPs, in line with processes developed for other high-cost medications.
