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

Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are considered urgent, antibiotic-resistant threats in the U.S. and are of global concern. Active collaboration between public health authorities and healthcare facilities and providers will be necessary to prevent and contain these organisms. Purpose: To describe the epidemiology of CRE in Kentucky and to discuss challenges and successes with building and sustaining an effective prevention and containment program. Methods: Retrospective descriptive summary of CRE isolates reported by healthcare providers, facilities, and laboratories in Kentucky from 2013 through 2020. Data available from case reporting forms and laboratory testing are summarized. Results: From 2013 through 2020, 1805 CRE were reported from 1666 individuals; median age was 66 years and 44% were male. Although most reports were from hospitalized individuals, nearly one-third were from individuals not hospitalized in acute-care hospital settings. The number of reports generally increased over time, with 111 CRE isolates in 2013 and 477 in 2020. Implications: There are challenges with developing, implementing, and sustaining a consistent, effective response to identifying, preventing, and containing CRE. Ongoing public health and facility resources will be necessary to prevent and contain antibiotic-resistant threats and other concerning organisms.
