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

backgroundLiver transplant (LT) recipients are susceptible to carbapenem-resistant

aimTo assess the incidence, resistance, therapy, and risk factors of CRKP infections post-LT, and to evaluate the impact of them on prognosis.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted, including 430 consecutive patients who underwent LT between January 2015 and June 2023. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for CRKP infections and their influence on outcomes using logistic regression analysis.

resultsAmong the 430 patients who underwent LT, 20 (4.7%) experienced at least one documented CRKP infection within 3 months post-transplantation. The median time from LT to the onset of CRKP infections was 6.5 days. The lungs and bloodstream were the most common sites of CRKP infections. CRKP isolates were relatively susceptible to ceftazidime/avibactam (93.7%), polymyxin B (90.6%), and tigecycline (75.0%) treatment. However, all isolates were resistant to piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, aztreonam, meropenem, and levofloxacin treatment. Recipients with CRKP infections had a mortality rate of 35%, the rate was 12.5% for those receiving ceftazidime/avibactam therapy. Multivariate analysis identified female sex [odds ratio (OR) = 3.306; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.239-8.822;

conclusionCRKP infections were frequent complications following LT, with poor associated outcomes. Risk factors for post-LT CRKP infections included female sex, significant intraoperative bleeding, elevated alanine aminotransferase levels, and the need for mechanical ventilation. CRKP infections negatively impacted survival and led to prolonged ICU stays.
