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

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been successfully applied in recent years for first-line identification of pathogens in clinical microbiology because it is simple to use, rapid, and accurate and has economic benefits in hospital management. The range of clinical applications of MALDI-TOF MS for bacterial isolates is increasing constantly, from species identification to the two most promising applications in the near future: detection of antimicrobial resistance and strain typing for epidemiological studies. The aim of this review is to outline the contribution of previous MALDI-TOF MS studies in relation to detection of antimicrobial resistance and to discuss potential future challenges in this field. Three main approaches are ready (or almost ready) for clinical use, including the detection of antibiotic modifications due to the enzymatic activity of bacteria, the detection of antimicrobial resistance by analysis of the peak patterns of bacteria or mass peak profiles, and the detection of resistance by semiquantification of bacterial growth in the presence of a given antibiotic. This review provides an expert guide for MALDI-TOF MS users to new approaches in the field of antimicrobial resistance detection, especially possible applications as a routine diagnostic tool in microbiology laboratories.
