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

Owing to the scarce evidence about the multidrug-resistant (MDR) beta-lactamase-producing Shigella isolates in Iran, this study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC β-lactamases in Shigella species collected in the southwest of Iran. This study was conducted on Shigella species isolated from stool samples of pediatric patients aged less than 15 years suffering from diarrhea. These isolates were identified by bacteriology tests, serotyping, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The antibiotic resistance was determined by disc diffusion. The production of ESBLs and AmpC was investigated by phenotypic confirmatory tests and PCR. In total, 79 Shigella isolates, including 46.8% (n = 37) of S. flexneri and 53.2% (n = 42) of S. sonnei, were isolated, respectively. The most effective antibiotic was imipenem with 93.7% of susceptibility followed by ampicillin (29.1%), and cotrimoxazole (30.4%).The resistance rates of ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, and cefotaxime were 41.8%, 34.2%, and 41.8%, respectively. Also, a total of 57 (72.2%) isolates showed MDR profiles. The phenotypic tests showed that 43.0% (34/79) of isolates can produce ESBLs, and no one was positive for ApmC. The frequency of bla
