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

backgroundThe increasing global concern regarding antibiotic resistance necessitates in-depth studies to comprehend the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of resistant bacterial strains. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, antibiotic resistance profiles, and molecular characteristics of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates in an Iranian referral pediatrics hospital.

methodsIn this study, we examined CRKP isolates collected from hospitalized pediatric patients across various wards. The isolates underwent antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis for carbapenemase genes (bla

resultsAmong 166 K. pneumoniae isolates, 54 (32.5%) exhibited resistance to carbapenems. Notably, all these resistant isolates were resistant to imipenem, with 35 (65%) displaying resistance to both imipenem and meropenem. Of the 54 CRKP isolates, 24 (44%) were metallo-β-lactamases (MBL)-producing. The prevalence of the bla

conclusionOur study reveals a concerning prevalence of carbapenem resistance in K. pneumoniae isolates. Specifically, the detection of the bla
