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

Rapid microbiological diagnosis of the antibiotic susceptibility of Gram-negative bacilli is a priority in clinical microbiology, especially in cases of bacteremia. The rapid advancement of antimicrobial resistance proposes a challenge for empirical antibiotic therapy and shows the need for fast antibiotic susceptibility diagnostics to guide treatments. The QuickMIC System (Gradientech AB, Uppsala, Sweden) is a recently developed rapid diagnostic tool for antibiotic susceptibility testing. Our study evaluates a rapid phenotypic system (QuickMIC) that provides information on the susceptibility of 12 antibiotics against IMPORTANCE: The rapid diagnosis of antibiotic sensitivity in Gram-negative bacilli is of paramount importance in clinical microbiology, particularly in cases of bacteremia. The escalating challenge of antimicrobial resistance underscores the need for expeditious antibiotic susceptibility diagnostics to guide empirical antibiotic therapy effectively. In light of this, we present our study that evaluates the QuickMIC System, a recently developed rapid diagnostic antibiogram. QuickMIC System, offers a novel approach to phenotypic testing, providing information on the activity of 12 antibiotics against key pathogens, including
