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

backgroundCarbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), particularly carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, are important causative agents of nosocomial infections associated with significant mortality rates mostly in critical wards. The rapid detection and typing of these strains is critical either for surveillance purposes and to prevent outbreaks and optimize antibiotic therapy. In this study, the MALDI-TOF MS method was used to detect rapidly these isolates from blood cultures (BCs) and to obtain proteomic profiles enable to discriminate between carbapenemase-producing and non-carbapenemase-producing strains.

resultsFifty-five K. pneumoniae strains were tested. Identification and carbapenemase-production detection assay using Ertapenem were performed both from bacterial pellets extracted directly from BCs flasks and from subcultures of these strains. For all isolates, a complete antimicrobial susceptibility testing and a genotypic characterization were performed. We found 100% agreement between the carbapenemase-producing profile generated by MALDI TOF MS and that obtained using conventional methods. The assay detected and discriminated different carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae isolates within 30 min to 3 h after incubation with Ertapenem.

conclusionsMALDI-TOF MS is a promising, rapid and economical method for the detection of carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae strains that could be successfully introduced into the routine diagnostic workflow of clinical microbiology laboratories.
