Use of a national repository of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectra enables fast detection of silent outbreaks and prevention of spread of new antibiotic-resistant sequence types.
Article in Antimicrobial resistance and infection control, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe reference microbiology laboratory of Israel's National Institute for Antibiotic Resistance and Infection Control has established a national repository of isolates analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and their spectra. Healthcare institutions send antibiotic-resistant isolates as part of outbreak investigation, periodic nation-wide collection of specific species, or point prevalence studies. Here, we describe the use of a national FTIR repository to detect the emergence and spread of new sequence types and resistance mechanisms.
methodsUsing FTIR, we produced dendrograms of outbreaks and periodic country-level dendrograms of isolates from selected species. When FTIR identified new clusters that were distinct from previously characterized clusters, they were investigated further by whole genome sequencing.
resultsFTIR analysis uncovered two clones new to Israel: NDM-5-producing E. coli ST650 harboring a novel plasmid, and NDM-producing K. pneumoniae ST307.
conclusionsEstablishing regional or national FTIR repositories could serve as a simple and effective tool for early detection of new antibiotic-resistant clones.
