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

Bloodstream infection poses a significant medical emergency that necessitates timely administration of appropriate antibiotics. Standard laboratory workup for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) involves subculture of organisms from positive blood bottles followed by testing using broth microdilution; however, this process can take several days. The Accelerate Pheno Blood Culture panel (Pheno) provides rapid phenotypic testing of selected Gram-negative organisms directly from positive blood cultures. This has the potential to shorten the AST process to several hours and impact time to antimicrobial optimization and subsequent clinical outcomes; however, these metrics have not been assessed in pediatric populations. We retrospectively compared two patient cohorts with blood cultures positive for on-panel Gram-negative organisms: 82 cases tested by conventional AST methods, and 80 cases postintervention at our pediatric hospital. Susceptibility testing from the Pheno yielded 91.5% categorical agreement with a broth microdilution-based reference method with 7.4% minor error, 1.1% major error, and 0.1% very major error rates. The median time from blood culture positivity to AST decreased from 20.0 h to 9.7 h (
