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

backgroundKnowledge of whether Enterobacterales are not susceptible to ceftriaxone without understanding the underlying resistance mechanisms may not be sufficient to direct appropriate treatment decisions. As an example, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms almost uniformly display non-susceptibility to ceftriaxone. Regardless of susceptibility to piperacillin-tazobactam or cefepime, carbapenem antibiotics are the treatment of choice for invasive infections. No such guidance exists for ceftriaxone non-susceptible organisms with mechanisms other than ESBL production. We sought to investigate the molecular epidemiology of ceftriaxone non-susceptible Enterobacterales.

methodsAll consecutive Escherichia coli, Klebsiellapneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, or Proteus mirabilis clinical isolates with ceftriaxone MICs of ≥2 mcg/mL from unique patients at a United States hospital over an 8-month period were evaluated for β-lactamase genes using a DNA microarray-based assay.

resultsOf 1929 isolates, 482 (25%) had ceftriaxone MICs of ≥2 mcg/mL and were not resistant to any carbapenem antibiotics. Of the 482 isolates, ESBL (blaCTX-M, blaSHV, blaTEM) and/or plasmid-mediated ampC (p-ampC) genes were identified in 376 (78%). ESBL genes were identified in 310 (82.4%), p-ampC genes in 2 (0.5%), and both ESBL and p-ampC genes in 64 (17.0%) of the 376 organisms. There were 211 (56%), 120 (32%), 41 (11%), and 4 (1%) isolates with 1, 2, 3, or 4 or more ESBL or p-ampC genes. The most common ESBL genes were of the blaCTX-M-1 group (includes blaCTX-M-15) and the most common p-ampC gene was the blaCMY-2.

conclusionsThere is considerable diversity in the molecular epidemiology of ceftriaxone non-susceptible Enterobacterales. An understanding of this diversity can improve antibiotic decision-making.
