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

objectivesThe performance of mainstream commercial antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems on polymyxins has not been well evaluated in China. In this study, three antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems were evaluated for polymyxin B and colistin.

methodsThe MICs of 257 Gram-negative strains collected from clinical cases and livestock were determined and analyzed. Using Broth Microdilution as the gold standard, the performance of VITEK 2

resultsThe EA, CA, VME, and ME to polymyxin B for Bio-kont were 83.5, 95.6, 13.1, and 0.6%, respectively. The EAs, CAs, VMEs, and MEs to colistin were as follows: Bio-kont, 86.7%/96.5%/7.2%/1.7%; Vitek 2, 64.2%/86.8%/41.0%/0%, and Phoenix M50, 92.9%/92.9%/21.7%/0%. The performance of Bio-kont to polymyxin B and colistin for

conclusionWith relatively more accurate results for polymyxin B and colistin and lower VME, Bio-kont has an advantage in polymyxin antimicrobial susceptibility testing, especially for
