Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The incidence of human-pathogenic microorganisms with resistance or even complete insensitivity to broad-spectrum antibiotics is increasing. This poses a serious challenge to infection control in hospitals and to hygiene strategies in clinical areas with critically ill patients, particularly intensive care or transplant units. These microorganisms create problems that are seemingly impossible to solve at present. The management of gram-positive pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) has been facilitated by evidence-based recommendations resulting in a measurable decrease in the incidence of infection and, where treatment is concerned, in a selection of reliably effective drugs for clinicians. However, in the more frequent cases of multiresistant gram-negative (MRGN) pathogens, the only option is the use of poorly defined regimens with older drugs, which carry the risk of serious side effects and organ toxicities. This article presents a comparative analysis of hospital hygiene management for MRSA and MRGN pathogens, pointing out both similarities and features which are unique to MRGN pathogens.
