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

Due to its ubiquity, ability to form biofilms, and acquire resistance mechanisms, Pseudomonas spp. become one of the major challenge for healthcare settings and food industry. The aims of this study were to assess the biofilm production of Pseudomonas spp. recovered from clinical and food specimens and to evaluate their antimicrobial resistance. A total of 108 isolates of Pseudomonas spp. were included in the study, 48 being clinical isolates recovered from patients admitted to four tertiary care hospitals throughout Serbia and 60 were isolated from the bulk tank milk samples and meat carcasses. Biofilm production was analyzed by microtiter plate assay. Antimicrobial susceptibility was evaluated by disk diffusion method according to the CLSI guidelines, while class A and B β-lactamases encoding genes were screened by PCR. A total of 98 (90.7%) strains were biofilm producers (moderate producer: 68, 69.4%; strong producer: 8, 8.2%). Although a slightly higher percentage of clinical isolates were biofilm producers (91.7%) compared to food isolates (90%), statistical significance was not observed (P > 0.05). The proportion of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) isolates was significantly higher among clinical (42%) isolates compared to food (1.7%) Pseudomonads (P < 0.05). The bla
