Phenotypic detection of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBL) among gram negative uropathogens reveals highly susceptibility to imipenem.

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.
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
objectiveWe aimed to determine antibiotic susceptibility patterns of ESBL- and non-ESBL bacteria isolated from pregnant women with UTI in antenatal wards in Khartoum State, Sudan.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted during April-July 2016 at different hospitals in Khartoum State. Mid-stream urine samples were obtained from 150 hospitalized pregnant women and cultured on CLED (Cystine Lactose Electrolyte Deficient) agar. Microorganisms were identified using standard microbiological procedures. Isolated Gram-negative bacteria were tested for antibiotic susceptibility and ESBL screening using modified Kirby- Bauer method and Double Disc Synergy Test (DDST) respectively.
resultsUrine culture revealed positive results in 33/150 (22%) and the most prevalent isolates were Gram negative bacteria (18/33, 54.5%). Among gram-negative bacteria, isolates of
conclusionsImipenem remains the most powerful option for ESBL- and non-ESBL bacteria causing UTIs in pregnant women. However, due to tremendous increase of antibiotic-resistant, antibiotic-susceptibility testing is recommended as a routine investigation for admitted pregnant women.
