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

A total 14 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that produced VEB-1 and were susceptible only to polymyxin B were recovered from hospitalized patients. VEB-1 was located within variable regions of the class 1 integron, flanked by resistant genes, and was horizontally transferable as well as carried within the IncP-type plasmid. We conclude that the IncP-type plasmid is responsible for the horizontal transmission of VEB-1-mediated expanded-spectrum cephalosporin resistance in this medical center.
