What's old is new: leveraging existing antimicrobial susceptibility test methods for rapid results in patients with bloodstream infections.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The use of rapid disk diffusion or modified automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) system approaches demonstrates excellent performance for gram-negative organisms directly from blood cultures. In a recent study, S. Khan, A. Das, A. Mishra, A. Vidyarthi, et al. (Microbiol Spectr 12:e03081-23, 2024, https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.03081-23) compared the performance of three direct-from-blood AST methods against standard of care disk diffusion and automated AST. The results demonstrated high categorical agreements and low error rates across three protocols. The study suggests that locally validated direct-from-blood AST protocols offer reliable and fast results, particularly for resource-limited settings. However, local context and workflows should be considered prior to implementing rapid AST protocols, and more research is needed on the performance of rapid AST protocols for gram-positive organisms.
