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

Rapid molecular typing methods can be a valuable aid in the investigation of suspected outbreaks. We used a semi-automated repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (Rep-PCR) typing assay and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to investigate the relationship between local Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) producing extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and their relation to recognized Danish outbreak strains. PFGE and Rep-PCR produced similar clustering among isolates. Individual isolates from each cluster were further characterized by PCR amplification and sequencing of bla (TEM), bla (SHV), and bla (CTX-M), and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Thirty-five out of 52 ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates were ST15 and bla (CTX-M15), bla (SHV-28), and bla (TEM-1) positive by PCR. Ten out of 52 were ST16 and tested positive for bla (CTX-M15), bla (SHV-1), and bla (TEM-1). Isolates from previously recognized hospital outbreaks were also ST15 and PCR positive for bla (CTX-M15), bla (SHV-28), and bla (TEM-1), and typed within the main cluster by both Rep-PCR and PFGE. In conclusion, K. pneumoniae ST15 containing bla (CTX-M15) and bla (SHV-28) constitutes an epidemic clone in the Copenhagen area and this clone can be rapidly recognized by semi-automated Rep-PCR.
