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

Contezolid is a novel oxazolidinone antibiotic for the treatment of gram-positive bacteria, which are one of the most common pathogens of pneumonia. We conducted a prospective, single-center, open-label study to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy, safety profile, and pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) penetration characteristics of contezolid in adult pneumonia patients. Sparse blood samples and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples were collected from patients after multiple oral doses of 800 mg of contezolid twice a day. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by developing population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling, and probability of target attainment was evaluated by Monte Carlo simulations. The study enrolled 15 patients (mean age 55 years) with primarily community-acquired pneumonia. Contezolid achieved a clinical cure rate of 80.0% and a bacterial clearance rate of 71.4%. Oral contezolid was well tolerated, and no drug-related adverse effects were observed in any of the subjects. The mean area under the concentration-time curve (AUC
