Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria associated with catheter-related bloodstream infections in three intensive care units in Egypt.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
We aimed to identify the carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) causing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in intensive care units (ICU) in a tertiary care Egyptian hospital, to study their resistance mechanisms by phenotypic and genetic tests, and to use ERIC-PCR for assessing their relatedness. The study was conducted over 2 years in three ICUs in a tertiary care hospital in Egypt during 2015-2016. We identified 194 bloodstream infections (BSIs); 130 (67.01%) were caused by GNB, of which 57 were isolated from CRBSI patients (73.84%). Identification of isolates was performed using conventional methods and MALDI-TOF MS. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was done by disc diffusion following CLSI guidelines. Phenotypic detection of carbapenemases enzymes activity was by modified Hodge test and the Carba-NP method. Isolates were investigated for the most common carbapenemases encoding genes bla
