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

introductionThis report documents a rare case of Chryseobacterium indologenes urinary tract infection in Senegal. Chryseobacterium indologenes is an uncommon human pathogen reported in hospital outbreaks in Taiwan and there have been some sporadic cases reported in Europe and in the USA mainly from immune-suppressed patients. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes a 42-year-old woman of Wolofa ethnicity who was hospitalized in our Department of Internal Medicine in a Senegalese university teaching hospital, with acute leukemia who died of severe sepsis 10 days following her hospitalization. A strain of Chryseobacterium indologenes isolated from her urine sample was resistant to several beta-lactams including ampicillin (minimum inhibitory concentrations ≥ 256 μg/mL), cefotaxime (minimum inhibitory concentrations 32 μg/mL) and imipenem (minimum inhibitory concentrations ≥ 32 μg/mL), whereas it was susceptible to piperacillin (minimum inhibitory concentrations 16 μg/mL), cefepime (minimum inhibitory concentrations 4 μg/mL), ceftazidime (minimum inhibitory concentrations 4 μg/mL), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (minimum inhibitory concentrations ≤ 0.25 μg/mL) and all tested quinolones including nalidixic acid (minimum inhibitory concentrations ≤ 2 μg/mL).

conclusionsChryseobacterium indologenes although uncommon, is an important pathogen causing infection in hospitalized patients. The management of this infection needs better identification, drug susceptibility testing and monitoring of immunosuppressed patients with long hospitalizations.
