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

backgroundSeveral pieces of evidence suggest that certain pathobionts belonging to Enterobacterales are associated with the development and progression of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) ESBLs are frequently found in the Enterobacterales members, particularly in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp., and might trigger antibiotic-induced perturbations of the intestinal microbiota and led to more severe disease activity in IBD. Therefore, the severity of IBD could be influenced by ESBL-producing Enterobacterales, and hence, this study aimed to investigate the presence of ESBLs and carbapenemases among mucosa-associated E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from colonic biopsies of Iranian patients with IBD.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, E. coli and K. pneumoniae were isolated from inflamed ileum and/or colon tissue of patients with IBD, including Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), during colonoscopy. Demographic data and clinical characteristics were recorded, and UC and CD disease activity and extent were evaluated according to the full Mayo score and Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), respectively. Phenotypic and molecular detection of ESBL- and carbapenemase-producing E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were carried out. Disease activity and other clinical and microbial features were compared in patients with and without gut colonization with ESBL producers.

resultsA total of 83 IBD patients, including 67 UC and 16 CD, were enrolled in the initial analysis. Intestinal colonization with ESBL-producing E. coli and/or Klebsiella pneumoniae was found in 37 (55.2%) of UC and 9 (56.2%) of DC patients - mostly harbored E. coli containing the bla

conclusionIntestinal colonization with ESBL producers could arise disease activity in IBD patients. Further large-scale case-control studies should be performed to investigate the possible confounding factors that could contribute to this outcome.
