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 play a significant role against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). A total of 121 clinical samples yielded growth of CRE that were included in the study. Rapid Polymyxin NP test was performed on all the isolates as described by Nordmann P et al. and results were compared with broth microdilution method. Majority of the isolates were Klebsiella pneumoniae (70.2%) followed by Escherichia coli (17.4%). A total of 71 isolates were found resistant and 50 as susceptible by broth microdilution. Sensitivity and specificity of rapid polymyxin NP test were found to be 97.2% and 100%, respectively. Our study concluded that rapid polymyxin NP test is reliable and can be used as an alternative to broth microdilution in resource limited settings.
