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

The prevalence of carbapenemase enzymes continues to increase. Among the Ambler class B enzymes is the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM). This particular enzyme is capable of hydrolyzing nearly all β-lactam antimicrobial agents and has spread rapidly, becoming a global problem. Therapeutic treatment options for patients infected with isolates which produce this enzyme are difficult to manage, as cross-resistance to other antimicrobial classes is common. The Study for Monitoring Antimicrobial Resistance Trends (SMART) is a global surveillance study evaluating the antimicrobial susceptibilities of numerous Gram-negative bacterial species recovered from people with intra-abdominal and urinary tract infections. The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute methods and a molecular analysis identified 134 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae (nine species) and one Acinetobacter sp. with blaNDM genes. These isolates were collected in nine countries, and >95% of the isolates possessed the NDM-1 variant. The MIC90 values were >4 mg/liter and >8 mg/liter for ertapenem and imipenem, respectively. No tested β-lactam or β-lactamase inhibitor combination had activity against these isolates. Resistance to amikacin (79.9%) and levofloxacin (82.8%) was common. Nearly all the isolates encoded additional enzymes, including AmpC cephalosporinases and extended-spectrum β-lactamases. There is an urgent need for infection control and continued global monitoring of isolates which harbor the NDM enzyme, as evidenced by recent outbreaks.
