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

Carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae is a major concern that is increasingly reported worldwide. The objective of this study is to determine the incidence of carbapenem resistance as well as to investigate for carbapenemase-encoding genes among Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates from cancer patients at different cancer institutes in Egypt. This determination was a cross-sectional study with a total of 135 clinical isolates collected over a period of 1 year. All isolates were sub-cultured on ChromID agar and subjected to phenotypic and molecular detection of carbapenemases. Most of the Enterobacteriaceae isolates were MDR with high resistance rates against tested antimicrobials. Overall, the results of PCR assays revealed that 89.62% (121/135) of isolates harbored one or more of the carbapenemase-encoding genes, while phenotypic assays revealed the production of carbapenemases in 68.88% (93/135) of isolates. BlastN analysis against the non-redundant genome sequences available in the GenBank database revealed that the bla
