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

A commercially available microarray (IDENTIBAC AMR-ve) for the detection of antibiotic resistance determinants was investigated for its potential to genotype 30 clinical isolates and two control strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Resistance profiles and the production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases were determined by disc diffusion and the results were compared with the microarray profiles in order to assess its scope and limitations. Genes associated with resistance to a wide range of antibiotics, including current first line therapy options, were detected. In addition, the array also detected class 1 integrases. The array is easy to use and interpret, and is useful in providing a general description of the numbers and types of resistance determinants in K. pneumoniae. It also provides an indication of the potential for resistance gene acquisition. However, in most instances detected resistance to specific antibiotics could not unequivocally be assigned to hybridization with a specific array probe. We conclude that the microarray is a valuable and rapid means of investigating the presence of resistance gene classes of therapeutic importance. It can also provide a starting point for selecting analyses of greater resolving power, such as phylogenetic subtyping by PCR sequencing.
