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

Mycoplasma gallisepticum is a major causative agent of chronic respiratory disease in poultry, and effective antimicrobial therapy remains essential for disease control. In this study, the antimycoplasmal activity, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic efficacy, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model of Pleuro2-4, a novel pleuromutilin candidate, were systematically evaluated against M. gallisepticum. Pleuro2-4 exhibited potent in vitro activity (MIC = 0.0078 μg/mL) and concentration-dependent killing. Following oral administration in chicks, Pleuro2-4 was rapidly converted to its active metabolite and displayed rapid absorption and sustained exposure in lung tissue. In an M. gallisepticum infection model, Pleuro2-4 alleviated respiratory lesions, reduced mycoplasmal loads, and suppressed inflammatory responses. PK/PD integration using an inhibitory sigmoid Emax model identified AUC0-24h/MIC as the PK/PD index for dose optimization. The bactericidal target was 3372.82 h, corresponding to a recommended oral dosage of 44.99 mg/kg once daily for three consecutive days. These findings support Pleuro2-4 as a promising candidate for avian mycoplasmosis treatment.
