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

The trinem sanfetrinem (GV 104326) was administered as the oral hexetil prodrug GV 118819X in two dose levels to six healthy volunteers. A single dose equivalent to 125 mg of sanfetrinem was administered, followed 6 weeks later by a single dose equivalent to 500 mg of sanfetrinem. The concentrations of the drug in plasma, cantharidin-induced inflammatory fluid, and urine were measured with a microbiological assay. The stability of sanfetrinem was studied in serum and inflammatory fluid. The mean peak concentrations in plasma of 0.77 and 2.47 microg/ml were attained at 1.1 and 2.0 h after the 125- and 500-mg doses, respectively. Mean peak concentrations in inflammatory exudate of 0.26 and 0.86 microg/ml were attained at 2.80 and 2.67 h after the 125- and 500-mg doses, respectively. The mean terminal elimination half-lives in plasma were 1.33 and 1.97 h for the 125- and 500-mg doses, respectively. The half-lives in the inflammatory fluid were 1.66 and 1.74 h for the 125- and 500-mg doses, respectively. The overall penetration of the drug into the inflammatory fluid was 51.4 and 47.0% for the 125- and 500-mg doses, respectively. Mean urine recovery was greater following 500 mg (24.15%) than after 125 mg (18.4%) of sanfetrinem. Sanfetrinem was relatively unstable in the inflammatory exudate in vitro (half-life, 5.5 h), and this could explain the poor penetration of the drug in the inflammatory exudate observed in this study.
