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

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the rapid emergence of carbapenem and colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae has resulted in an alarming situation worldwide. We aimed to describe secondary infections and antimicrobial use, in a pregnant woman admitted to hospital with COVID-19. A 28-year-old pregnant woman was admitted to the hospital due to COVID-19. According to the clinical conditions, the patient was transferred to the ICU on the second day. She was empirically treated with ampicillin and clindamycin. Mechanical ventilation through an endotracheal tube was started on the 10th day. During her hospitalization in the ICU, she was infected with ESBL-producing K. pneumonia, Enterobacter spp and carbapenemase-producing colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. Finally, the patient was treated with tigecycline monotherapy that was associated with ventilator-associated pneumonia clearance. Bacterial co-infection is relatively infrequent in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Treatment of infections caused by carbapenemase-producing colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates is challenging, with limited antimicrobials available in Iran. In order to prevent the spread of extensively drug-resistant bacteria, infection control programs must be implemented more seriously.
