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

introductionOmadacycline is a semisynthetic aminomethylcycline, tetracycline-type antibiotic, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). This study aimed to assess the in vitro activity of omadacycline against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

methodsThis systematic review was done according to the "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses" (PRISMA) guidelines. A search was conducted across five databases (Google Scholar, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and PubMed) to identify relevant articles from their inception to October 2025. The data were interpreted in accordance with the FDA omadacycline resistance breakpoints for ABSSSI and CABP.

resultsIn total, 31 relevant studies were included. The resistance of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) Staphylococcus aureus isolates to omadacycline was 0-13% and 0.3-0.7%, respectively. The resistance of Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pyogenes isolates was 0%-2.2%, 0%-0.8%, and 0%-0.2%, respectively. Regarding Gram-negative bacteria, the resistance of Hemophilus influenzae isolates to omadacycline was 0%-0.2%, of Enterobacter cloacae 0.3%-25.8%, and of Klebsiella pneumoniae 0%-100%.

conclusionOmadacycline demonstrated good in vitro activity against S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, S. aureus (both MSSA and MRSA), and E. faecalis. The activity against E. cloacae was also considerable. However, the drug demonstrated limited activity against K. pneumoniae.
