The CREPE Score: A Predictive Tool for Third-Generation Cephalosporin-Resistant Enterobacterales Pneumonia in Community Settings.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: To evaluate risk factors and develop a prediction score for community-acquired pneumonia caused by third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales (3GCR EB-CAP). Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia caused by Enterobacterales (EB-CAP) between January 2015 and August 2021 at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Logistic regression was used to analyze clinical parameters associated with 3GCR EB-CAP. The coefficients of significant parameters were simplified to the nearest whole number for a prediction score, called the CREPE (third-generation Cephalosporin Resistant Enterobacterales community-acquired Pneumonia Evaluation). Results: A total of 245 patients with microbiologically confirmed EB-CAP (100 in the 3GCR EB group) were analyzed. Independent risk factors for 3GCR EB-CAP included in the CREPE score were (1) recent hospitalization within the past month (1 point), (2) multidrug-resistant EB colonization (1 point), and (3) recent intravenous antibiotic use (2 points for within the past month or 1.5 points for between one and twelve months). The CREPE score had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of 0.88 (95% CI 0.84-0.93). Using a cut-off point of 1.75, the score had a sensitivity and specificity of 73.5% and 84.6%, respectively. Conclusion: In areas with high prevalence of EB-CAP, the CREPE score can assist clinicians in selecting appropriate empirical therapy and reducing overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
