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

Background: Sulbactam-durlobactam (SUL-DUR) was approved in China in 2024 for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant Methods: We conducted a multicenter, retrospective case series across three hospitals in Hubei Province, China (January 2025 - March 2026), to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and preliminary pharmacoeconomic profiles of SUL-DUR in patients with CRAB infections. Results: Twenty-one patients were included; SUL-DUR was administered as primary (n=12) or salvage (n=9) therapy. Infections primarily involved the respiratory tract (n=20) and bloodstream (n=3). Genetic profiling of available isolates (n=18) identified OXA-23 (94.4%) as the predominant Conclusion: SUL-DUR, administered exclusively as part of combination regimens, was associated with favorable clinical outcomes and a manageable short-term safety profile in this small cohort, including in patients requiring extracorporeal life support and those infected with strains co-harboring multiple
