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

objectivesTo determine the prevalence and the diversity of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) among Escherichia coli isolates in Zhengzhou, China.

methodsClinical isolates were collected and investigated from the first affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou University and its associated health-care facilities in Zhengzhou, China, during the period from January 2006 to June 2008. Antibiograms were performed on Mueller-Hinton agar plates with the disc-diffusion method and MICs were determined by the agar-dilution method. Total DNA was extracted with a Qiagen mini kit and screened by PCR.

resultsOf 94 nonduplicate ESBL-positive isolates, TEM-type was encoded in 74 and 79% of the ESBL isolates. Fifty-six isolates were SHV type ESBLs. CTX-M-1, CTX-M-14, CTX-M-25, and CTX-M-38 types were encoded in 30, 54, 6, and 4, respectively. OXA-1-type beta-lactamases were encoded in six and OXA-20-type was encoded in two isolates.

conclusionsWe describe a complex ESBL epidemiology. The study revealed a high rate of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates. TEM and CTX-M enzymes dominated in ESBL-positive E. coli isolates in Zhengzhou, China.
