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

Background: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) cause significant morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. There are few data regarding the contribution of MDR organisms (MDROs) to these infections. We evaluated the resistance percentage of MDRO BSIs in SOT recipients and the associated mortality. Methods: A systematic review of MEDLINE and Embase databases up to January 2024, for studies of adult SOT recipients that quantified MDRO BSI resistance percentage and/or associated crude mortality. MDROs studied were carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), Results: Of 945 studies identified, 52 were included. Most were retrospective (41/52) and/or single centre (37/52), and liver transplantation was the most frequently studied SOT type (22/52). High resistance percentages of BSIs were noted, ranging from 13.6% CRE for Enterobacterales to 59.2% CRAB for Conclusions: MDRO BSI resistance percentages were high for all pathogens studied (IQR 24.6%-69.4%) but there was geographical and temporal heterogeneity. MDRO BSIs were associated with high mortality in SOT recipients. Microbiological and clinical data in this vulnerable population were incomplete, highlighting the need for robust international multicentre studies.
