Rapid and automated screening of carbapenemase- and ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacteria from rectal swabs using chromogenic agar media and the ScanStation device.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 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
importanceThe ScanStation 100 device is an incubator able to follow the real-time growth of bacterial colonies on agar plates through digital imaging, allowing users to sort plates according to the presence or absence of colonies, and to distinguish their color using four numeric color filters. Real-time screening shows that first colony detection is possible much earlier (after 10-14 h of growth, on average), whereas visual observation is usually performed only once a day after 18-24 h of incubation. The ScanStation device, combined with chromogenic agar media, is an efficient automated screening method to accelerate the detection of Gram-negative multidrug-resistant bacteria in laboratories that do not have access to larger laboratory automation systems. Our study shows that setting the image acquisition to one or two early images may allow for the detection of positive samples that were inoculated in the morning, by the end of the working day.
