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

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) have been playing havoc in the field of nosocomial as well as community-acquired infections. Of particular concern are the carbapenem-resistant GNBs, belonging to Enterobacteriaceae and encoding for New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) gene. These strains spread rapidly and horizontally in the population, thus exhibiting MDR traits as these can harbour several resistance encoding genes to almost all antimicrobial groups. Several predisposing factors are responsible towards its spread, viz. excessive antibiotic usage, improper aseptic conditions by healthcare workers, lack of awareness, abruptly discontinuing medication course, alternative medications and vector-borne factors contributing to the unchecked harbouring of these super bugs in India. Thus, a bugle call has already been sounded worldwide especially in India, where the country has taken serious cognizance to build up strategy via implementation of several national programs to combat antimicrobial resistance covering human, animal, agriculture and environmental aspects. As there is an exponential rise in variants of NDM-1 harbouring strains, molecular epidemiological investigations of these strains using genotyping techniques are of paramount importance for a better understanding of this rampant spread and curbing resistance thereafter. This review explores the urgent need to develop a cost-effective, rapid molecular assay, viz. the loop-mediated isothermal amplification method for field detection of MBL harbouring bacterial strains, especially NDM-1 and its variants, thus targeting specific carbapenemase genes at a grass root level even to the remote and rural regions of the country.
