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

Using conventional methods, organism identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) results are available ∼1.5-3 days after positive blood culture. New technologies can reduce this time to 8-12 h, allowing therapy to be optimized substantially sooner. To make full use of fast ID and AST results requires overcoming various hurdles to effective implementation, including restructuring laboratory workflows to optimize timeliness of results and modifying clinical pathways to respond more quickly when results are available. Efficient laboratory procedures and clinical interventions coupled with fast and accurate identification and AST results have the potential to substantially reduce overall costs and provide more-sophisticated and effective patient management.
