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

backgroundAntibiotic resistance in bacteria is a cause for concern, especially in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients. Endogenous bowel microflora in HSCT patients get replaced by hospital multidrug resistant flora and pose risk of serious bacterial infection during the pre-engraftment stage. For decades, many methods to reduce the translocation of gut microbiota in HSCT patients have been attempted. Despite the logic, of using prophylactic antibiotics, there is no consensus on standard regimen. Personalized antibiotic prophylaxis-based on gut microbiota and clinical profile has been suggested by researchers. In this study, gut microbiota in HSCT recipients has been studied with antimicrobial susceptibility testing and detection of various antibiotic resistance phenotypes.

methodsSeventy-six HSCT patients (2016-2018) were included. Stool surveillance cultures and antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed. Bacterial isolates were classified into various antibiotic resistance phenotypes.

resultsThis study revealed that 73.75% HSCT recipients had gut colonized with antibiotic resistance microbiota which included extended-spectrum β-lactamase-, multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant phenotypes.

conclusionThis study reiterates the importance of individual profiling of gut microbiota in HSCT patients.
