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

objectivesTo assess the global and regional distribution of ESBLs in Enterobacterales and carbapenemases in Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

methodsAntimicrobial susceptibility of isolates collected from ATLAS (2017-2019) was determined per CLSI guidelines. Enterobacterales exhibiting meropenem MICs ≥2 mg/L and/or ceftazidime/avibactam and/or aztreonam/avibactam MICs ≥16 mg/L, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae with aztreonam and/or ceftazidime MICs ≥2 mg/L, and P. aeruginosa with meropenem MICs ≥4 mg/L were screened for β-lactamases by PCR and sequencing.

resultsGlobally, ESBL-positive E. coli (23.7%, 4750/20047) and K. pneumoniae (35.1%, 6055/17229) carried predominantly the CTX-M-15 variant (E. coli: 53.9%; K. pneumoniae: 80.0%) with highest incidence in Africa/Middle East (AfME). Among carbapenem-resistant (CR) E. coli (1.1%, 217/20047) and Enterobacter cloacae (3.8%, 259/6866), NDMs were predominant (E. coli in AfME: 62.5%; E. cloacae in Asia Pacific: 59.7%). CR K. pneumoniae (13.3%, 2299/17 229) and P. aeruginosa (20.3%, 4187/20 643) carried predominantly KPC (30.9%) and VIM (14.7%), respectively, with highest frequency in Latin America. Among ESBL-positive Enterobacterales, susceptibility to ceftazidime/avibactam (>90.0%) and amikacin (>85.0%) was higher than to piperacillin/tazobactam (>45.0%) and ciprofloxacin (>7.4%). In CR Enterobacterales, susceptibility to amikacin (>54.0%) and ceftazidime/avibactam (>31.0%) was higher than to ciprofloxacin (>2.7%) and piperacillin/tazobactam (>0.5%). CR P. aeruginosa similarly demonstrated higher susceptibility to amikacin (63.4%) and ceftazidime/avibactam (61.9%) than to ciprofloxacin (26.2%) and piperacillin/tazobactam (25.3%).

conclusionsVaried distribution of resistance genotypes across regions among ESBL-positive Enterobacterales and CR Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa provide crucial insights on major resistance mechanisms and trends observed in recent years. Continued surveillance is warranted for monitoring global dissemination and resistance.
