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: The incidence of ESBL infections is exponentially increasing with variable prevalence among geographical areas and treatment settings. Identifying local prevalence rate and patient-related factors will help in earlier recognition and initiation of appropriate antibiotics treatment of patients with ESBL infections. Methods: Retrospective analysis of all positive cultures for ESBL producing Enterobacteriaceae collected in Al-Khor hospital from January 2010 to December 2012. ESBL bacterial isolates reported as cephalosporin-resistant or ESBL using the automated VITEK Gram-Negative Susceptibility System with cards GNS 206 and 121 were screened for ESBL detection using the disk diffusion method in keeping with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Both descriptive and analytic statistics were applied when appropriate, and univariate analysis was used to identify significant factors. Results: Most of the ESBL-producing bacterial isolates were Conclusion: Multiple risk factors were associated with ESBL infections both in the community and hospital setting. Prediction tools are needed to improve the protocol of appropriate empiric antibiotic selection while preserving antimicrobial stewardship recommendations.
