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

backgroundCarbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales isolates are associated with significant mortality and have emerged as a major problem in healthcare settings worldwide.

objectiveOur aim was to investigate the epidemiological and genotypic characteristics of carbapenemase-positive Enterobacterales isolates from patients hospitalised in three hospitals in the city of Batna, Algeria.

methodsBetween 2016 and 2019, a total of 5,316 clinical isolates were obtained. The collected isolates were identified using the VITEK-2 system. Demographic and microbiological data were collected as well as the antimicrobial susceptibility testing, phenotypic and molecular characterisation of carbapenemase and mcr-1 genes were performed.

resultsOut of the 5,316 isolates, 201 were carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales isolates and 179 of them (89.05%) were positive for the production of carbapenemase, of which Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae were the most common. The bla

conclusionThis is the first study reporting the detection of carbapenemase genes in Klebsiella aerogenes, Enterobacter sakazakii, Raoultella ornithinolytica, Serratia ficaria, and Serratia marcescens and specific carbapenemase gene combinations in Algeria. The present study revealed that bla
