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: To address knowledge gaps in management of Gram-negative bloodstream infection, the Antibiotic Stewardship Implementation Collaborative was established consisting of programs from 24 academic and community hospitals across the United States. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of unique adult patients with Gram-negative bloodstream infection hospitalized at participating hospitals from January to December 2019. Patient level and microbiologic data were collected via electronic medical record review with a standardized data collection form and data dictionary. Data analysis was largely descriptive. The Pearson χ2 test to compare categorical variables and the Wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous variables were used. Results: In total, 4851 bacterial isolates from 3710 eligible unique patients were included in the cohort. Most common source of infection was the urinary tract (47.9%). Source control was achieved in 84% of cases. Escherichia coli (2471, 51.0%) was the most common Gram-negative organism recovered. Antibiogram combining isolates from all participating centers with species-level susceptibilities and source specific antibiograms for isolates from urinary, respiratory, and intraabdominal source were created. Northeast sites contributed the most extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing organisms (73%), but West sites had the highest percentage of ESBL producers of total isolates (16%). A statistically significant difference in percentage of ESBL-producing organisms in Whites vs. non-Whites (14.6 % and 9.5 %, respectively, Conclusions: While the present study was conducted pre-pandemic, it highlights the need for stewardship data collaboratives to enhance our understanding of the antimicrobial resistance patterns.
