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

purposeWe explored patient- and hospital-level predictor variables for worse clinical and economic outcomes in carbapenem-nonsusceptible urinary tract infections (UTIs). PATIENTS AND

methodsWe used electronic data (January 2013-September 2015; 78 US hospitals) from a large multicenter clinical database. Nonduplicate gram-negative isolates were considered carbapenem-nonsusceptible if they had resistant/intermediate susceptibility. Potential predictors of outcomes (mortality, 30-day readmissions, length of stay [LOS], hospital total cost, and net gain/loss per case) were examined using generalized linear mixed models. Significant predictors were identified based on statistical significance and model goodness-of-fit criteria.

resultsA total of 1439 carbapenem-nonsusceptible urine cases were identified. The mortality rate was 5.5%; the hospital readmission rate was 25.0%. Mean (standard deviation [SD]) LOS, total cost, and loss per case were 12 (14) days, $21,502 ($37,172), and $5828 ($26,540), respectively. Hospital-onset (vs community-onset) infection significantly impacted all outcomes: mortality (odds ratio [OR], 2.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-4.11;

conclusionHospital-onset infections, polymicrobial infections, higher clinical severity, and underlying diseases are key predictors for worsened overall burden of carbapenem-nonsusceptible gram-negative UTIs.
