Top panel: summary of the properties of CXO J1745-28 and X-ray bright (>1035 erg s-1) binary systems. Middle panel: remaining spectroscopically or photometrically confirmed binaries. Bottom panel: binary candidates selected on the basis of their X-ray properties (see Sect. 4). Stars are ordered in terms of decreasing X-ray flux, with errors given for this parameter and orbital period if provided in the original study. We quote dynamical masses only, with those given in italics representing lower limits. Regarding individual sources, WR20a, 22 and 25 have all been flagged as X-ray variable (Naze et al. 2008a; Gosset et al. 2003; Pollock & Corcoran 2006), while the X-ray fluxes given for the Arches sources assume a 1T fit; a similar fit for CXO J1745-28 results in a directly comparable flux (Wang et al. 2006; Mikles et al. 2006). The converse is also true; the 2T (0.9 + 5.8 keV) fit for F9 favoured by Yusef-Zadeh et al. (2002) yields $L_{\rm x} \sim 8 \times 10^{34}$ erg s-1; we choose to present the 1T fits for all three stars since Yusef-Zadeh et al. (2002) only present a spectral fit for F9.
