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

Antibiotic resistance poses a significant global threat, particularly in the context of bloodstream infections. Early antimicrobial susceptibility testing plays a crucial role in guiding clinicians to optimize treatment and enhance patient outcomes. Direct disk diffusion testing (dDDT), utilizing positive blood culture broth as an inoculum, provides results one day earlier than the standard method using bacterial colonies. This retrospective study evaluated the ability of dDDT to predict nonsusceptibility to commonly used antibiotics. From January 2021 to December 2023, a total of 1473 blood cultures positive for a single pathogen (Enterobacterales,
