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

Objectives: Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Methods: We retrospectively studied patients infected with carbapenem-resistant Results: Among them, 57.49% (215/374) strains met the criteria for CR-hvKP. The most common type was blaKPC-2-producing ST11(98.60%, 212/215), whereas K64 (56.74%, 122/215) and KL25 (39.53%, 85/215) were the main capsular serotypes. The CR-hvKP strains showed significantly higher resistance to the tested antibiotics, except for ceftazidime/avibactam and colistin. Resistance rates of CR-hvKP to the three tested antibiotics (minocycline, cotrimoxazole, and amikacin) were higher than those of CRnon-hvKP. Phylogenetic analysis based on whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphisms divided the 251 isolates into four independent branches, with branch 2 being the most prevalent, indicating high clonality among the strains. Multivariate analysis showed diabetes [odds ratio (OR) = 3.771] and surgery (OR =2.042) to be independent variables associated with CR-hvKP infection. Conclusions: Notably, the ST11 lineage carrying blaKPC-2 has emerged as a dominant high-risk clone in Huaian. Given the wide distribution of these novel CR-hvKP isolates, global monitoring and stricter control measures should be implemented to prevent their further spread in hospital settings.
