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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate the resistance mechanisms and molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-nonsusceptible PATIENTS AND

methodsFrom 2012 to 2015, 237

resultsThe predominant resistance mechanism of CnsEC in Taiwan was the CMY-2 β-lactamase in combination with OmpF and OmpC loss. Sequence type 131 was the most prevalent type (29.2%). Among 237 CnsEC isolates, 106 (44.7%) isolates were pCREC and 18 (7.59%) produced carbapenemase. The prevalence of carbapenemases increased from 6% in 2012 to 11.36% in 2015. Various carbapenemases including KPC-2, IMP-8, NDM-1, NDM-5, VIM-1, OXA-48, and OXA-181 were identified, with NDM-1 being the most common (38.9%) carbapenemase. Comparison between pCREC and non-pCREC among the non-carbapenemase-producing CnsEC isolates revealed SHV, CMY, co-carriage of SHV and CTX-M and concurrent loss of both OmpF and OmpC were more commonly detected in the pCREC group. PFGE revealed no nationwide clonal spread of carbapenemase-producing

conclusionNDM-1 was the most common carbapenemase and combination of CMY-2 and concurrent OmpF and OmpC porin loss was the most prevalent resistance mechanism in CnsEC in Taiwan.
