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

This article can rightly be called 'the rise of the microbial phoenix'; for, all the microbial infections whose doomsday was predicted with the discovery of antibiotics, have thumbed their noses at mankind and reemerged phoenix like. The hubris generated by Sir Alexander Fleming's discovery of Penicillin in 1928, exemplified best by the comment by William H Stewart, the US Surgeon General in 1967, "It is time to close the books on infectious diseases" has been replaced by the realisation that the threat of antibiotic resistance is, in the words of the Chief Medical Officer of England, Dame Sally Davies, "just as important and deadly as climate change and international terrorism". Antimicrobial resistance threatens to negate all the major medical advances of the last century because antimicrobial use is linked to many other fields like organ transplantation and cancer chemotherapy. Antibiotic resistance genes have been there since ancient times in response to naturally occurring antibiotics. Modern medicine has only driven further evolution of antimicrobial resistance by use, misuse, overuse and abuse of antibiotics. Resistant bacteria proliferate by natural selection when their drug sensitive comrades are removed by antibiotics. In this article the authors discuss the various causes of antimicrobial resistance and dwell in some detail on antibiotic resistance in gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Finally they stress on the important role clinicians have in limiting the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance.
