Comparative effectiveness of intravenous versus inhalational antibiotic administration for the management of Acinetobacter pneumonia: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in Qatar medical journal, 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
Background: Aerosol antibiotics directly target the respiratory tract, bypassing the poor lung penetration of many intravenous antibiotics. However, they seem like they could be useful for treating ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP); not enough research has been done on how well inhaled and intravenous treatments work. The existing literature does not give definitive information regarding which method yields superior therapeutic outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of intravenous versus inhaled colistin in treating Methodology: This prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study compared inhaled versus intravenous colistin for Results: Both routes significantly reduced leukocyte counts ( Conclusion: Post-treatment physiological status was the primary determinant of outcomes in
