First case of bloodstream infection caused by NDM-positive Escherichia hermannii.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundEscherichia hermannii (E. hermanni) is always accompanied by other bacterial infections in humans. In previous reports, most E. hermannii-related infections were caused by sensitive strains. Here, for the first time, we report the case of a patient with New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-positive E. hermannii bloodstream infection. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 70-year-old male admitted to our hospital due to a 4-day fever, with a history of malignant tumor, liver cirrhosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. After admission, his blood culture tested positive for E. hermannii. The drug resistance analysis showed positive for NDM resistance, with susceptibility to aztreonam, levofloxacin, and amikacin. The blood culture turned negative after 8 days of aztreonam treatment. The patient's symptoms improved, and he was discharged after 14 days of hospitalization.
conclusionsThis is the first report of a bloodstream infection caused by an NDM-positive E. hermannii strain. The anti-infection regimen used in this case provides a new reference regimen for clinical practice.
