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

Bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, pose a major threat for patients, especially for those who are immunosuppressed. Rapid pathogen detection and characterization from positive blood cultures are crucial in the management of patients with BSI to enable an adequate and timely antimicrobial therapy. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of the Molecular Mouse system, a new CE IVD molecular test designed to rapidly detect the causative agents of bacteremia and their resistance determinants, in the management of the therapy in critically ill patients. Agreement between the results of the Molecular Mouse and the conventional routine method was also considered. Overall, 100 positive blood cultures were collected from septic critically ill patients from May 2023 to January 2024 and analyzed with Molecular Mouse and routine protocols. The new instrument consistently agreed with the routine protocols in the case of monomicrobial blood cultures, while some discrepancies were obtained in the polymicrobial samples. Antimicrobial resistance genes were detected in 35 samples, with
