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

aimsThe emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains has led to increased mortality and morbidity rates. Tigecycline, a new class of broad-spectrum glycyl-tetracycline antibiotics, has been used to target multi- and pan-drug-resistant bacterial infections. This study aimed to assess the molecular characteristics of CRKP in a tertiary hospital, and its susceptibility to tigecycline, to create a reference for hospital infection control and clinical drug use. METHODS AND

resultsWe retrieved patient clinical information and CRKP characterization from medical records and detected the MIC of tigecycline using the micro-broth dilution method. Multi-locus sequence typing was performed, and antibiotic resistance genes associated with CRKP were detected by qPCR. A total of 166 CRKP strains were detected in the sputum, urine and blood among intensive care unit patients (average age, 69·6 years). The most infrequently observed resistance genes were amikacin resistance genes, followed by tobramycin resistance genes. KPC-2, CTX-M9 and CTX-M1 were the most frequently detected resistance genes.

conclusionsNo strain was resistant to tigecycline (MIC ≥ 8 µg ml SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Clinicians and infection control experts should be aware of CRKP prevalence to facilitate clinical treatment and improve nosocomial infection control.
