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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesDiscovered in 1983, Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producers are still the leading cause of infections in India. Its prompt detection is crucial to the clinical management. The Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommends phenotypic screening and confirmatory tests to identify the ESBL producer making it cost and time consuming for the diagnostic laboratory. We compare here the screening and confirmatory tests offering a solution to the CLSI recommendation.

methodsNosocomial isolates RESULTS AND

conclusionsPhenotypic screening disk diffusion test versus the confirmatory agar dilution MIC tests with cefotaxime and ceftazidime correlated well with the final ESBL status (kappa 0.852 and 0.905
