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

backgroundKlebsiella pneumoniae infections have become a major cause of hospital acquired infection worldwide with the increased rate of acquisition of resistance to antibiotics. Carbapenem resistance mainly among Gram negative is an ongoing problem which causes serious outbreaks dramatically limiting treatment options. This prospective cross-sectional study was designed to detect bla MATERIALS AND

methodsA totally of 1118 different clinical specimens were screened and confirmed for KPC producing K. pneumoniae phenotypically using Meropenem (10 μg) disc. The bla

resultOf the total samples processed, 18.6% (n = 36) were K. pneumoniae and among 36 K. pneumoniae, 61.1% (n = 22/36) were meropenem resistant. This study demonstrated the higher level of MDR 91.7% (n = 33) and KPC production 47.2% (n = 17) among K. pneumoniae isolates. The bla

conclusionSince the study demonstrates the higher level of MDR and KPC producing K. pneumoniae isolates that has challenged the use of antimicrobial agents, continuous microbiology, and molecular surveillance to assist early detection and minimize the further dissemination of bla
