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

backgroundIn recent years, Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex (ABC) infections have attracted attention, mainly because of the impact of carbapenem-resistant isolates in hospital-acquired infections. However, acute community-acquired ABC infections are not uncommon in warm and humid countries, where they are responsible for community-acquired infections with specific clinical features. To date, such infection has not been reported in France. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 55-year-old non-immunocompromised patient living in France with no known risk factors for community-acquired ABC infections who presented pneumonia with bloodstream infection due to wild-type A. pittii. The outcome was favorable after 7 days of antibiotic treatment with cefepime. We confirmed bacterial identification with whole-genome sequencing, and we examined the A. pitii core-genome phylogeny for genomic clusters.

conclusionsThis situation is uncommon in Europe and occurred after a heat wave in France with temperatures above 38 °C. Herein, we discuss the possibility that this pneumonia may be emerging in the current context of global warming.
