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

In clinical practice, there is a growing need to assess the impact of prior colonization or infection with extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) on new EPE infections. We have investigated the frequency of, and duration to, a subsequent EPE infection in patients with prior fecal carriage or infection with EPE. Culture data for 3272 EPE-positive patients in Western Sweden during 2004-2014 were evaluated. The median follow-up time was 3.7 years. The first recorded EPE-positive fecal screen, or clinical (urine, blood) culture, and subsequent EPE-positive clinical samples were analyzed, focusing on the first and last recurrence of EPE infection. ESBL Escherichia coli dominated (95%). Almost all (94%) patients initially positive in fecal screen (n = 1436) and 72 and 71% of those initially positive in urine (n = 1717) and blood (n = 119) had no further EPE clinical isolates. Subsequent EPE bacteremia was only detected in 0.7, 1.6, and 4.2% of the respective patient group. Recurrent EPE-positive urine cultures occurred in 27% (460/1717), most (75%) within 6 months, and rarely (13%) after 1 year. Repeated EPE-positive clinical samples were significantly (p < 0.01) more common in patients > 65 years and in men with ESBL Klebsiella pneumoniae. In our low-endemic setting, subsequent EPE infections in previously colonized patients were rare. On the other hand, in patients previously EPE-positive in urine or blood, subsequent EPE urinary tract infections were common, especially within 6 months and in patients > 65 years old.
