Prevalence and characterization of carbapenem-resistant bacteria in water bodies in the Los Angeles-Southern California area.

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
Carbapenems are β-lactam antibiotics used in healthcare settings as last resort drugs to treat infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Carbapenem-resistant bacteria are increasingly being isolated from healthcare facilities; however, little is known about their distribution or prevalence in the environment, especially in the United States, where their distribution in water environments from the West Coast has not been studied before. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant bacteria and carbapenemase genes in water bodies from the Los Angeles area (California, USA). All samples that were analyzed contained carbapenem-resistant bacteria with a frequency of between 0.1 and 324 carbapenem-resistant cfu per 100 mls of water. We identified 76 carbapenem-resistant or -intermediate isolates, most of which were also resistant to noncarbapenem antibiotics, as different strains of Enterobacter asburiae, Aeromonas veronii, Cupriavidus gilardii, Pseudomonas, and Stenotrophomonas species. Of them, 52 isolates were carbapenemase-producers. Furthermore, PCR and sequence analysis to identify the carbapenemase gene of these carbapenemase-producing isolates revealed that all Enterobacter asburiae isolates had a bla
