Antimicrobial activity of ceftolozane/tazobactam, imipenem/relebactam, and comparators against Gram-negative pathogens collected in Arabian Gulf countries: SMART 2020-2024.

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
Objectives: To investigate the Methods: From 2020 to 2024, two clinical laboratories in Kuwait and one each in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman (participated in 2022-2024 only) collected up to 250 consecutive Gram-negative isolates per year from patients with bloodstream, intra-abdominal, lower respiratory tract, and urinary tract infections. MICs were determined by CLSI broth microdilution and interpreted with 2025 EUCAST breakpoints. Most imipenem, imipenem/relebactam, and ceftolozane/tazobactam non-susceptible isolates were interrogated for their acquired β-lactamase content. Results: Ceftolozane/tazobactam was active against 85.6% of the Enterobacterales ( Conclusion: Recent clinical isolates of Enterobacterales collected in the Arabian Gulf region were highly susceptible to imipenem/relebactam, while both imipenem/relebactam and ceftolozane/tazobactam exhibited excellent activity against
