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

Background: Increasing burden of carbapenem resistance among Methods: A total of 2474 urine samples collected during the study period (July-December 2017) were processed at the microbiology laboratory of Kathmandu Model Hospital, Kathmandu. Isolates of Results: Of the total urine samples processed, 19.5% (483/2474) showed the bacterial growth. Conclusion: Presence of NDM genes among carbapenemase-producing isolates is indicative of potential spread of drug-resistant variants. This study recommends the implementation of molecular diagnostic facilities in clinical settings for proper infection control, which can optimize the treatment therapies, and curb the emergence and spread of drug-resistant pathogens.
