Multicenter evaluation of the RAPIDEC® CARBA NP assay for the detection of carbapenemase production in clinical isolates of Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

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.
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
Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli are a major public health problem. Accurate and rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing organisms can facilitate appropriate infection prevention measures. The objective was to evaluate the performance of the RAPIDEC® CARBA NP assay (RAPIDEC), a screening assay that utilizes a pH indicator to detect carbapenem hydrolysis within 2 h. A multicenter study evaluated 306 clinical bacterial strains of Enterobacterales (n = 257) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 49). The RAPIDEC was compared to a composite reference standard-the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) Carba NP assay, PCR for specific carbapenemase genes (bla
