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

Despite the discovery of novel beta-lactamases such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), imported AmpC, and carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamases at least a decade ago, there remains a low level of awareness of their importance and how to detect them. There is a need to increase the levels of awareness of clinical laboratories about the detection of newer beta-lactamases. Therefore, a study was conducted in 2000 to investigate the occurrence of these beta-lactamases in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates at 24 U.S. medical centers. To enhance the likelihood of detecting imported AmpC and carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamases, participating laboratories were permitted to include archived strains (1996 to 2000) that were intermediate or resistant to either cefoxitin or imipenem. The beta-lactamase production of 408 isolates positive by screening of 1,123 isolates was investigated by ESBL phenotypic confirmation tests; and for AmpC and carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamases, three-dimensional tests, isoelectric focusing, beta-lactamase inhibitor studies, spectrophotometric assays, induction assays, and molecular tests were used. ESBL-producing isolates were detected at 18 of the 24 sites (75%), imported AmpC-producing isolates were detected at 10 sites (42%), inducible imported AmpC-producing isolates were detected at 3 sites (12.5%), and a molecular class A carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzyme was detected at 1 site (4%). No class B or D carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes were detected. ESBLs and imported AmpC beta-lactamases were detected at a significant number of sites, indicating widespread penetration of these enzymes into U.S. medical institutions. Because these enzymes may significantly affect therapeutic outcomes, it is vital that clinical laboratories be aware of them and be able to detect their occurrence.
