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

backgroundThe emergence and spread of third-generation cephalosporins (3GC) and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae pose a global critical challenge. Understanding the transmission dynamics within and between hospital environments is crucial to develop effective control strategies.

methodsFrom 2017 to 2019, we conducted a genomic surveillance program in eight hospitals of the Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, collecting and sequencing 1,768 3GC- and carbapenem-resistant isolates. We quantified the overall transmission using core genomes and assessed the contribution of national and global isolates to the spread of AMR in the region by including 11,967 database genomes in the analysis.

resultsThe local collection was highly diverse, involving 188 lineages, including global high-risk clones such as ST307 and ST11, and 3GC and carbapenem resistance determinants. Half of the isolates were involved in transmission, with 70.5% occurring within hospitals.

conclusionsDifferent transmission patterns characterized the spread of 3GC- and carbapenem resistance in the region. While inter-hospital transmission played a significant role in the spread of 3GC-resistance, this was only sporadic for carbapenem resistance. Moreover, the factors behind inter-hospital spread for each type of resistance differed: while 3GC-resistance likely disseminated between hospitals through intermediate steps, carbapenem resistance was driven by more direct transmission routes. The burden of national and global cases on the ongoing regional AMR dissemination was low. Moreover, we revealed the rapid expansion in the region and globally of lineage ST307 carrying the bla
