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

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the clinical outcomes, microbiological features and risk factors for difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR) Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Peking University Third Hospital from January 2020 to March 2021. DTR was defined as resistance to ≥1 carbapenem, ≥1 extended-spectrum cephalosporin, and ≥1 fluoroquinolone. Hypervirulent Kp (HvKp) was defined as Results: Fifty DTR-Kp (50.0%) strains were identified among 100 patients. Compared to non-DTR-Kp group, a significant number of patients with DTR-Kp infection experienced ICU admission (44.0% versus 10.0%, P<0.001) and mechanical ventilation after Kp detection (26.0% versus 10.0%, P=0.037). Notably, the percentage of hvKp among the DTR-Kp isolates increased consistently over the 15 months evaluated. Most DTR-Kp strains belonged to ST11 (82.0%), followed by ST15 (12.0%), ST86 (2.0%), ST996 (2.0%), and ST3157 (2.0%). DTR-Kp isolates possessed various resistance genes, such as Conclusion: DTR-hvKp is rapidly emerging. The DTR-Kp strains harbored various resistance genes and high rates of yersiniabactin siderophore genes. DTR-Kp infection was an independent risk factor for mortality, suggesting that enhanced awareness essential.
