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

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common pathogen that is associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) and carbapenem-resistant (CR) phenotypes; therefore, we investigated its resistance patterns and mechanisms by using data from the Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance (ATLAS) program in the Asia-Pacific region from 2015 to 2019. MICs were determined using the broth microdilution method. Genes encoding major extended-spectrum β-lactamases and carbapenemases were investigated by multiplex PCR assays. Susceptibility was interpreted using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints. A total of 6,349 P. aeruginosa isolates were collected in the ATLAS program between 2015 and 2019 from 14 countries. According to the CLSI definitions, the numbers (and rates) of CR and MDR P. aeruginosa isolates were 1,198 (18.9%) and 1,303 (20.5%), respectively. For 747 of the CR P. aeruginosa strains that were available for gene screening, 253 β-lactamase genes were detected in 245 (32.8%) isolates. The most common gene was
