Comparison of two commercial broth microdilution panels for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria: Thermo Scientific™ Sensititre DKMGN vs. Beckman Coulter MicroScan NMDRM1.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) using broth microdilution (BMD) is usually the reference method to obtain accurate minimum inhibitory concentrations and optimally manage infections with resistant organisms. Several commercial dry BMD are available for AST in clinical laboratories. Materials and methods: Two commercial BMD panels for testing of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria were compared: the Thermo Scientific™ Sensititre DKMGN and the Beckman Coulter NMDRM1, for 17 antimicrobial agents. Results: A total of 207 isolates were tested: three ATCC strains and one NCTC strain, six quality control strains from the Belgian National Antimicrobial Committee, and 197 clinical isolates, including carbapenem-resistant Discussion: Overall, the categorical agreement (CA) and essential agreement (EA) were both above 90%, but several useful antibiotics for the treatment of multi-resistant organisms showed CA and EA under 90%, that is, meropenem, imipenem, and colistin for
