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

Single-locus blaOXA-51-like sequence-based typing (SBT) was evaluated for its ability to determine correctly sequence types (STs) in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, in comparison with the Pasteur's multilocus sequence typing (MLST) reference method and 3-locus sequence typing (3-LST). The comparative study was performed in 585 multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. baumannii clinical isolates recovered from 21 hospitals located throughout Greece, Italy, Lebanon, and Turkey. The isolates belonged to nine clonal complexes (CCs) that correspond to 12 distinct sequence types (STs) and to one singleton ST. These clonal lineages predominate worldwide among nosocomial MDR A. baumannii strains. The most common clone was CC2 (ST2 and ST45; n=278 isolates) followed by CC1 (ST1 and ST20; n=155), CC25 (n=65), ST78 (n=62), CC15 (ST15 and ST84; n=9), CC10 (n=4), CC3 (n=4), CC6 (n=3), CC54 (n=3), and CC83 (n=2). Using the blaOXA-51-like SBT method, all 585 isolates of the study were typed and assigned correctly to the nine CCs and the singleton ST78. The 3-LST method was not able to classify isolates belonging to CC6, CC10, CC54, and CC83, which are not yet characterized in its database. The low-cost and convenient blaOXA-51-like SBT method, compared with 3-LST and MLST, discriminated all epidemic and sporadic lineages of our collection and could be effectively applied to type rapidly A. baumannii strains.
