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

backgroundAcinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen which is reported as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units (ICUs). However, there is a lack of analysis focused on multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) infection among patients from pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in China. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular characterization of MDRAB isolated from PICU.

methodsIn this study, 86 isolates of MDRAB were collected from PICU patients, from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the isolates against common antibiotics were determined. The carbapenemase-encoding resistance genes and AdeABC-AdeRS efflux system genes of these isolates were detected by PCR. Real-time PCR was performed to determine the relative expression of the relevant efflux pumps.

resultsAmong 86 strains of MDRAB, 76.7% (66/86) were carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB). All 86 clinical isolates possessed the bla

conclusionThe present study showed a high distribution of multiple genes, mainly the genes of bla
