Risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection/colonization and predictors of mortality: a retrospective study.
Article in Pathogens and global health, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 66 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo identify risk factors associated with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection/colonization and death and to investigate the resistance and homology of CRKP.
methodsA retrospective 1:1 case-control study was conducted at Changhai Hospital, China, from January 2010 to December 2011.The study population included 30 patients with CRKP infection/colonization and 30 matched patients with carbapenem-susceptible K. pneumoniae (CSKP) infection/colonization at the same site. Homology analysis was conducted by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Potential resistance genes were detected by PCR.
resultsIndependent risk factors for CRKP infection/colonization were admission to exposure to glycopeptides [Odds ratio (OR): 43.84, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.73-1111.91, P = 0.020], cefoperazone plus sulbactam (OR: 49.56, 95% CI: 1.42-1726.72, P = 0.030) and tracheostomy (OR: 677.82, 95% CI: 2.76-1667, P = 0.020). Age (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.00-1.14, P = 0.04), renal dysfunction (OR: 17.63, 95% CI: 2.34-132.87, P = 0.005) and exposure to cefoperazone plus sulbactam (OR: 8.87, 95% CI: 1.29-61.07, P = 0.026) were independent risk factors for the death of patients with K. pneumoniae infection/colonization. Older age (OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.01-1.39, P = 0.011) was an independent risk factor for the death of patients with CRKP infection/colonization. Thirty CRKP strains were all KPC-2-producing resistant strains with genotype of ST-11.
conclusionExposure to glycopeptides, cefoperazone plus sulbactam and tracheostomy were independent risk factors for CRKP infection/colonization, and older age was an independent risk factor for CRKP infection/colonization caused death.
