Evaluation of the Osiris expert system for identification of beta-lactam phenotypes in isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

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.
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
Osiris is a video zone size reader for disk diffusion tests featuring a built-in extended expert system (EES). The efficacy of the EES for the identification of the beta-lactam susceptibility phenotypes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates was evaluated. Thirteen beta-lactams were tested in four laboratories by the disk diffusion test with 53 strains with well-characterized resistance mechanisms, including the production of 12 extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). The plates were read with the Osiris system and the results were interpreted with the ESS, and then the phenotype identified by the EES was compared to the resistance mechanism. The strains were also screened for the presence of ESBL production by a double-disk synergy test by placing the strains between an extended-spectrum cephalosporin-containing disk and a clavulanic acid-containing disk at distances of 30, 20, 15, and 10 mm from each other. Overall, the EES accurately identified the phenotypes of 88.2% of the strains and indicated an association with several mechanisms for 3.8% of the strains. No phenotype was identified in four strains with low levels of penicillinase production. Misidentifications were observed for two penicillinase-producing strains: one strain with partially derepressed cephalosporinase production and one strain overexpressing the MexA-MexB-OprM efflux system. The production of only four ESBLs was detected by the standard synergy test with a 30-mm distance between the disks. The production of five further ESBLs was identified by reducing the distance to 20 mm, and the production of the last three ESBLs was detected only at a distance of 15 or 10 mm. Our results indicate that the Osiris EES is an effective tool for the identification of P. aeruginosa beta-lactam phenotypes. A specific double-disk synergy test with reduced disk distances is necessary for the detection of ESBL production by this organism.
