Validation of Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing directly from blood cultures using WASPLab
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
With the increase in antimicrobial resistance, fast reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results is becoming increasingly important. EUCAST developed a method for rapid AST (RAST) directly from the broth of positive blood cultures (BC). Inhibition zones are read after 4, 6, and 8 h, with specific breakpoints per time point. We evaluated the RAST method based on EUCAST disk diffusion methodology with inoculation of BC broth using WASPLab
