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

purposeThis study was to clarify the molecular epidemiology and clinical infection characteristics of Ralstonia pickettii and establish sequence typing system.

methods48 nonrepetitive Ralstonia pickettii strains were collected from January 2008 to December 2013 at the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital (PLAGH) and were identified through a specific PCR experiment, 16 S rDNA experiment and VITEK 2 system to compare the identification accuracy. The sequence types of the strains were analyzed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) method. The antibiotic sensitivity of these strains was determined with disc diffusion tests and broth microdilution method. The clinical data of Ralstonia pickettii infected patients were collected.

resultsAll of the 48 strains were identified as Ralstonia pickettii by VITEK 2 system. 30 and 34 strains were identified as Ralstonia pickettii by PCR and 16 S rDNA experiment respectively. ST9 was the most sequence types (STs) in these 18 STs of 42 strains. 42 strains were divided into 2 groups (A and B) and 18 genotypes. Ralstonia pickettii was sensitive to some cephalosporins, β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor, levofloxacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Cough, sputum, shortness of breath and pulmonary rales were the common clinical symptoms of most Ralstonia pickettii infected patients.

conclusionWe established a sequence typing system with a relatively fine resolution and the PCR assay is a faster and more sensitive method for clinical identification of Ralstonia pickettii. ST9 is the most common sequence types of Ralstonia pickettii. The most common clinical characteristics of Ralstonia pickettii infected patients were cough, sputum, shortness of breath and pulmonary rales.
