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

This study aimed to use whole-genome sequencing to determine virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes in K. pneumoniae isolated from patients in a tertiary care hospital in Kilimanjaro. K. pneumoniae isolates from patients attending Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre between August 2013 and August 2015 were fully genome-sequenced and analysed locally. Sequence analysis was done for identification of virulence and AMR genes. Plasmid and multi-locus sequence typing and capsular or capsular (K) typing were performed and phylogeny was done to ascertain K. pneumoniae relatedness. Stata 13 (College Station, TX, 77845, USA) was used to determine Cohen's kappa coefficient of agreement between the phenotypically tested and sequence-predicted resistance. A total of 16 (47.1%) sequence types (STs) and 10 (29.4%) K types were identified in 30 (88.2%) and 17 (50.0%) of all analysed isolates, respectively. K. pneumoniae ST17 were 6 (17.6%). The commonest determinants were bla
