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

objectivesDrug-resistant Enterobacterales carrying carbapenem-resistant genes cause severe infections in clinical settings worldwide. Among these, the New Dehli Metallo-β-lactamase (bla

methodsCRE isolates from a tertiary care hospital, in Islamabad, Pakistan, were identified and the susceptibility testing was performed using disc diffusion method. MICs were determined for imipenem, tigecycline, and colistin through E-strips and microbroth dilution method respectively. For molecular characterization and typing of the bla

resultsAmong 5,134 clinical samples, 42.13% (n = 2,163) yielded pathogens including 42.58% (n = 921) Enterobacterales. On further screening, 39.52% (n = 364) of Enterobacterales were identified as CRE. The bla

conclusionThe high prevalence of bla
