Comparative Analysis of Colistin Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: VITEK® 2 Compact Versus Broth Microdilution Method.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background Colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, has witnessed a surge in resistance, posing a significant threat to public health. Accurate and timely detection of colistin resistance is crucial for effective clinical management. This study aims to compare two commonly used methods, the VITEK® 2 Compact (bioMerieux, Marcy-l'Étoile, France) system and broth microdilution (BMD), for identifying colistin resistance in clinical isolates. Materials and methods The study was carried out in the Microbiology Department at Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Karad. The laboratory processed the specimens for identification, followed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing using the automated VITEK® 2 Compact system and the gold-standard BMD method.
