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

Antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is increasingly being implicated in invasive infections worldwide with high mortalities. Forty-two multidrug resistant (MDR) K. pneumoniae isolates were collected over a 4-month period. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined using Microscan. The evolutionary epidemiology, resistome, virulome and mobilome of the isolates were characterised using whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. All isolates contained the bla
