LBJMR medium: a new polyvalent culture medium for isolating and selecting vancomycin and colistin-resistant bacteria.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundMulti-drug resistant bacteria are a phenomenon which is on the increase around the world, particularly with the emergence of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and vancomycin-resistant enterococci strains. The recent discovery of a plasmid-mediated colistin resistance with the description of the transferable mcr-1 gene raised concerns about the need for an efficient detection method for these pathogens, to isolate infected patients as early as possible. The LBJMR medium was developed to screen for all polymyxin-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including mcr-1 positive isolates, and vancomycin-resistant Gram-positive bacteria.
resultsThe LBJMR medium was developed by adding colistin sulfate salt at a low concentration (4 μg/mL) and vancomycin (50 μg/mL), with glucose (7.5 g/L) as a fermentative substrate, to a Purple Agar Base (31 g/L). A total of 143 bacterial strains were used to evaluate this universal culture medium, and the sensitivity and specificity of detection were 100% for the growth of resistant strains. 68 stool samples were cultured on LBJMR, and both colistin-resistant Gram-negative and vancomycin-resistant Gram-positive strains were specifically detected.
conclusionsThe LBJMR medium is a multipurpose selective medium which makes it possible to identify bacteria of interest from clinical samples and to isolate contaminated patients in hospital settings. This is a simple medium that could be easily used for screening in clinical microbiology laboratories.
