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

Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are an emerging threat in solid organ transplantation (SOT). The changing epidemiology of these MDROs is reviewed along with the growing evidence regarding risk factors and outcomes associated with both colonization and infection in SOT. The management of these infections is complicated by the lack of antimicrobial agents available to treat these infections, and only a handful of new agents, especially for the treatment of MDR GNR infections, are being evaluated in clinical trials. Due to the increased prevalence of MDROs and limited treatment options, as well as organ shortages, transplant candidacy and use of organs from donors with evidence of MDRO colonization and/or infection remain controversial. Increasing collaboration between transplant programs, individual practitioners, infection control programs, and researchers in antimicrobial development will be needed to face this challenge.
