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

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are a growing threat to human health worldwide. CRE often carry multiple resistance genes that limit treatment options and require longer durations of therapy, are more costly to treat, and necessitate therapies with increased toxicities when compared with carbapenem-susceptible strains. Here, we provide an overview of the mechanisms of resistance in CRE, the epidemiology of CRE infections worldwide, and available treatment options for CRE. We review recentlyapproved agents for the treatment of CRE, including ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, imipenem-relebactam, cefiderocol, and novel aminoglycosides and tetracyclines. We also discuss recent advances in phage therapy and antibiotics that are currently in development targeted to CRE. The potential for the development of resistance to these therapies remains high, and enhanced antimicrobial stewardship is imperative both to reduce the spread of CRE worldwide and to ensure continued access to efficacious treatment options.
