Comparative Evaluation of Broth Microdilution With Disc Diffusion and VITEK 2 for Susceptibility Testing of Colistin on Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background The rise of antibiotic resistance, particularly in Gram-negative bacteria, poses a significant global health threat. Colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, has witnessed renewed use. However, accurate susceptibility testing for colistin is challenging, with various methods available, leading to potential discrepancies. Ensuring reliable testing is crucial for effective patient treatment and antimicrobial stewardship. This study addresses the need to compare different colistin susceptibility testing methods, providing insights into their accuracy and relevance in clinical settings. Methods In this one-year prospective observational cross-sectional study conducted at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), Bihar, India, a tertiary care hospital from July 2021 to June 2022, we aimed to evaluate the concordance between two widely used methods, VITEK 2 and Disc Diffusion, for antibiotic susceptibility testing in clinical multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial isolates. These isolates, including species like
