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

We performed a population-based study to examine the influence of healthcare-associated acquisition on pathogen distribution, antimicrobial resistance, short- and long-term mortality of community-onset Gram-negative bloodstream infections (BSI). We identified 733 unique patients with community-onset Gram-negative BSI (306 healthcare-associated and 427 community-acquired) among Olmsted County, Minnesota, residents from 1 January 1998 to 31 December 2007. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the association between healthcare-associated acquisition and microbiological etiology and antimicrobial resistance. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression was used to evaluate the influence of the site of acquisition on mortality. Healthcare-associated acquisition was predictive of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (odds ratio [OR] 3.14, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.59-6.57) and the group of Enterobacter, Citrobacter, and Serratia species (OR 2.23, 95% CI: 1.21-4.21) as causative pathogens of community-onset Gram-negative BSI. Healthcare-associated acquisition was also predictive of fluoroquinolone resistance among community-onset Gram-negative bloodstream isolates (OR 2.27, 95% CI: 1.18-4.53). Healthcare-associated acquisition of BSI was independently associated with higher 28-day (hazard ratio [HR] 3.73, 95% CI: 2.13-6.93) and 1-year mortality (HR 3.60, 95% CI: 2.57-5.15). Because of differences in pathogen distribution, antimicrobial resistance, and outcomes between healthcare-associated and community-acquired Gram-negative BSI, identification of patients with healthcare-associated acquisition of BSI is essential to optimize empiric antimicrobial therapy.
