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

Polymyxins are becoming an added value for treating infections due to multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Therefore, the Rapid Polymyxin/Pseudomonas NP test was developed for the identification of polymyxin resistance in P. aeruginosa isolates. This test detects the bacterial growth in a medium containing a defined concentration of colistin. Formation of basic metabolites is visually detected by yellow to purple/violet color change of the bromocresol purple pH indicator. The test performance was evaluated by using 50 colistin-resistant and colistin-susceptible P. aeruginosa isolates, among which 10 were colistin resistant. The sensitivity and specificity of the test were found to be 100% (CI95 65.5-100%) and 95% (CI95 81.8-99.1%), respectively, by comparison with broth microdilution as the reference method. The Rapid Polymyxin/Pseudomonas NP test is easy to perform, specific and sensitive, allowing rapid visual observation of results without the requirement any special reading equipment, and results are obtained in 3 h.
