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

backgroundVentilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the common nosocomial infections associated with high morbidity due to multidrug resistant pathogens. Rapid spread of resistance to broad spectrum beta-lactams in pathogenic strains causes antibiotics ineffectiveness and increased severity of illness. The CTX-M is the most dominant Extended Spectrum β Lactamase (ESBL) among Enterobacteriaceae in many regions of the world. The aim of the study was to identify the occurrence of ESBL and detect the genes responsible for ESBL production by conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method.

methodsThis prospective study included patients, clinically diagnosed as VAP. Endotracheal aspirates (EA) were collected and cultured by quantitative method. The bacterial isolates were identified as per standard methods. Isolates resistant to 3(rd) generation cephalosporins were screened for ESBL production by disk approximation method and combination disc diffusion method. Isolates confirmed as ESBL producers were subjected to genotyping by conventional PCR. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Statistical analysis was done by using MS Excel sheet. Descriptive statistics like percentage was done in the study.

resultsAmong the isolates from 428 patients who developed VAP, 144 isolates belonged to the Enterobacteriaceae family (Klebsiella pneumoniae 87 and Escherichia coli 57). A total of 66 isolates (28 Klebsiella pneumoniae and 38 Escherichia coli) were confirmed as ESBL producer by disc approximation method and 63 isolates by double disc combination method. In the present study by conventional PCR bla CTX-M was the common gene in 48.5% strains followed by 22.22% bla SHV and 14.81% bla TEM.

conclusionThe genotypic methods using specific PCR amplification of resistance genes seems to have 100% specificity and sensitivity in detection of ESBL when compared to phenotypic methods which lacks the constant sensitivity.
