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

aimMultidrug-resistant enterobacteria are highly associated with invasive devices and intensive care units. Increasing resistance to carbapenems is leading to the use of older and neglected antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin (NFT). The genomics of NFT resistance was investigated. RESULTS &

conclusionHigh-level resistance to NFT (minimum inhibitory concentration ≥128-512 mg/l) was recorded in 31/36 isolates (89.6%), many of which were from intensive care units (n = 20), urine (n = 17) or invasive procedures (n = 10). Efflux pump inhibitors had little effect on NFT's minimum inhibitory concentrations albeit
