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

Introduction: Tigecycline (TGC) is a core antibiotic for treating hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, but the absence of individualized dosing guidance that balances treatment effect and safety frequently results in suboptimal efficacy or coagulation-related adverse events in clinical practice. Methods: A single-center retrospective study was conducted, enrolling 100 patients with MDR-HAP who were assigned to a standard-dose group or a high-dose group based on clinical decisions. The efficacy and safety of different TGC dosing regimens were compared between the two groups. Results: The trough concentration (C Discussion: This eAUIC range was derived from retrospective data and should be framed explicitly as a hypothesis to be tested, clinical applicability requires confirmation through prospective studies and external validation. Therapeutic drug monitoring may assist in optimizing therapy, but prospective studies are needed to confirm these observations.
