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

objectivePatients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are exposed to highly immunosuppressive conditions and bloodstream infections (BSIs) are one of the most common major complications within this period. Our aim, in this study, was to evaluate the epidemiology of BSIs in these patients retrospectively. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe epidemiological properties of 312 patients with HSCT were retrospectively evaluated.

resultsA total of 312 patients, followed between 2000 and 2011, who underwent autologous (62%) and allogeneic (38%) HSCT were included in the study. The most common underlying malignancies were multiple myeloma (28%) and Hodgkin lymphoma (21.5%). A total of 142 (45%) patients developed at least 1 episode of BSI and 193 separate pathogens were isolated from the blood cultures. There was a trend of increase in the numbers of BSIs in 2005-2008 and a relative increase in the proportion of gram-positive infections in recent years (2009-2011), and central venous catheter-related BSI was found to be most common source. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (49.2%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (8.8%) were the most common pathogens. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing strains were 23% and 22% among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. isolates, respectively. Quinolone resistance was detected in 10% of Enterobacteriaceae. Resistance to carbapenems was not detected in Enterobacteriaceae, while it was seen at 11.1% and 23.5% in Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter strains, respectively.

conclusionA shift was detected from gram-negative bacteria to gram-positive in the etiology over the years and central lines were the most common sources of BSIs.
