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

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) pose an emerging threat worldwide. The purpose of our work was to determine their prevalence among patients hospitalized in the Trauma and Burn Centre's Burn Unit, and to study their microbiological and molecular characteristics. Our study was longitudinal, conducted at the Trauma and Burn Centre's laboratory between January and June 2017. It focused on 42 CPE strains isolated from 34 patients. These strains were made up of K. pneumoniae (24), P. mirabilis (13), K. oxytoca (2), P. stuartii (1), E. coli (1), and E. cloacae (1). The overall prevalence of CPE among Enterobacteriaceae was 14.43% with a monthly decline. The blaNMD gene (59%) predominated on blaOXA-48 (33%) and 7% of strains co-expressed these two genes. We describe the first case of P. stuartii carrying blaNDM in Tunisia. Resistance to ertapenem, imipenem and meropenem was 83%, 57%, and 10% respectively. The antibiotics showing the highest resistant rates were third-generation cephalosporins (97%), gentamicin (98%) and norfloxacin (90%). Colistin and fosfomycin had the best-preserved activity in vitro with 4% and 33% resistance, respectively. The prevalence of EPCs is high among burns. Screening efforts, hygiene measures and the preservation of the few molecules still active are a vital issue.
