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

objectiveCarbapenems are effective agents to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of bacteria, including MATERIALS AND

methodsDifferent clinical specimens were subjected to conventional culture-based identification of

resultsA total of 71 clinical

conclusionAlthough the prevalence of CRPA in our therapeutic centers was relatively low, this rate of carbapenem resistance reflects a threat limiting treatment choices. A high prevalence of MDR/XDR phenotypes among the MBL-producer isolates suggests the need for continuous assessment of antimicrobial susceptibility and surveillance of antibiotic prescription. In addition, infection control measures are needed to prevent further dissemination of these organisms.
