Development of a PCR-dipstick DNA chromatography-based tool for the detection of CTX-M- and TEM-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients in Kafue and Katete districts of Zambia.

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
In Zambia, 40% of clinical Gram-negative bacteria are either Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae, with a high third-generation cephalosporin (3GC) resistance prevalence. Therefore, 3GC resistance surveillance is a crucial indicator for guiding focused intervention policies. However, the lack of genotypic diagnostic tools limits the ability to elucidate trends, especially in peri-urban and rural areas of developing countries. This study aimed to develop a rapid, cost-effective tool for the genotypic surveillance of 3GC resistance. Here, 900 stool samples collected from patients in Kafue (peri-urban, n = 400) and Katete (rural, n = 500) districts of Zambia were used for bacterial isolation on MacConkey agar supplemented with 1 μg/ml cefotaxime. Isolated 3GC-resistant strains were characterized by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene and screening for bla
