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

Background: Currently, carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are becoming a global public health threat. Infections caused by these bacteria limit treatment options and are associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of CPE and identify associated risk factors. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August 2023. Clinical samples were cultured, and species identification was performed using standard biochemical tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done, and a modified carbapenem inactivation method was employed to confirm carbapenemase production. Data were entered using Epi Data and analysed with SPSS. Results: From a total of 143 isolates, the most commonly identified species were Conclusions: The high prevalence of CPE underscores the need for urgent infection control measures. Implementing antimicrobial stewardship, strengthening infection control measures, and further molecular studies are vital to combating this problem.
