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

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, including KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, represent a major threat to public health due to their rapid spread. The beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) combination ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) has recently been introduced and shown to exhibit excellent activity toward multidrug-resistant KPC-producing Enterobacterales strains. However, CAZ-AVI-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates are being increasingly reported, mostly corresponding to producers of KPC variants that confer resistance to CAZ-AVI but at a cost of carbapenem resistance. We have characterized here, both phenotypically and genotypically, a clinical CAZ-AVI- and carbapenem-resistant KPC-2 K. pneumoniae isolate co-producing the inhibitor-resistant extended-spectrum beta-lactamase VEB-25.
