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

purposeThere is currently a paucity of published literature focused on the treatment of infections caused by NDM-producing organisms.

methodsWe describe a case of a bacteraemia caused by an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing Serratia marcescens and review the treatment options for XDR NDM-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

resultsInfections caused by New Delhi beta-lactamase (NDM)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. The presence of the enzyme results in multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant phenotypes which often pose a treatment challenge. Despite this challenge, case reports and series have demonstrated good clinical outcomes with numerous treatment options in comparison to infections due to KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

conclusionsFurther good-quality research focused on the treatment of NDM-producing Enterobacteriaceae is warranted.
