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

Members of the genus Klebsiella have rapidly evolved within the past decade, generating organisms that simultaneously exhibit both multidrug resistance and hypervirulence (MDR-hv) phenotypes; such organisms are associated with severe hospital- and community-acquired infections. Carbapenem-resistant infections with unknown optimal treatment regime were of particular concern among the MDR-hv Klebsiella strains. Recent studies have revealed the molecular features and the mobile resistance elements they harbour, allowing identification of genetic loci responsible for transmission, stable inheritance, and expression of mobile resistance or virulence-encoding elements that confer the new phenotypic characteristics of MDR-hv Klebsiella spp. Here, we provide a comprehensive review on the taxonomic position, species composition and different phylotypes of Klebsiella spp., describing the diversity and worldwide distribution of the MDR-hv clones, the genetic mutation and horizontal gene transfer events that drive the evolution of such clones, and the potential impact of MDR-hv infections on human health.
