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

Microbial resistance is a serious threat to human health worldwide. Among the World Health Organisation's list of priority resistant bacteria, three are listed as critical-the highest level of concern-and all three are Gram-negative. Gram-negative resistance has spread worldwide via a variety of mechanisms, the most problematic being via AmpC enzymes, extended-spectrum β-lactamases, and carbapenemases. A combination of older drugs, many with high levels of toxicity, and newer agents are being used to combat multidrug resistance, with varying degrees of success. This review discusses the current treatments for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including new agents, older compounds, and new combinations of both, and some new treatment targets that are currently under investigation.
