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

Organisms producing CTX-M-beta-lactamases are emerging around the world as a source of resistance to oxyiminocephalosporins such as cefotaxime (CTX). However, the laboratory detection of these strains is not well defined. In this study, a molecular detection assay for the identification of CTX-M-beta-lactamase genes was developed and used to investigate the prevalence of these enzymes among clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species in the Calgary Health Region during 2000 to 2002. In addition, National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) recommendations were evaluated for the ability to detect isolates with CTX-M extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). The PCR assay consisted of four primer sets and demonstrated 100% specificity and sensitivity for detecting different groups of CTX-M-beta-lactamases in control strains producing well-characterized ESBLs. Using these primer sets, 175 clinical strains producing ESBLs were examined for the presence of CTX-M enzymes; 24 (14%) were positive for bla(CTX-M-1-like) genes, 95 (54%) were positive for bla(CTX-M-14-like) genes, and the remaining 56 (32%) were negative for bla(CTX-M) genes. Following the NCCLS recommendations for ESBL testing, all of the control and clinical strains were detected when screened with cefpodoxime and when both cefotaxime and ceftazidime with clavulanate were used as confirmation tests.
