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: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values are useful in guiding appropriate antimicrobial therapy however, routine provision and interpretation of MIC values to guide clinical decision-making is challenging. Objectives: This proof of concept study aims to demonstrate the clinical utility and application of Vitek Method: A random selection of clinically relevant Gram negative isolates routinely tested on the Vitek Results: A total of 525 isolates were included (468 Enterobacterales and 57 Conclusion: Vitek Contribution: Minimum inhibitory concentration data from an automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing instrument can be used to guide clinical decisions.
