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

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global healthcare challenge, where overprescription of antibiotics contributes to its prevalence. We have developed a rapid multi-excitation Raman spectroscopy methodology (MX-Raman) that outperforms conventional Raman spectroscopy and enhances specificity. A support vector machine (SVM) model was used to identify 20 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with an accuracy of 93% using MX-Raman. Antibiotic sensitivity profiles for tobramycin, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, and imipenem were generated for the bacterial strains and compared with their Raman spectral signatures using MX-Raman. The 20 clinical strains were distinguished according to AMR profiles. Nine models were assessed for AMR classification performance, and SVM performed best, classifying AMR profiles of each strain with 91-96% accuracy. These data provide the basis for a new rapid clinical diagnostic platform that could screen for bacterial infection and recommend effective antibiotic treatment ahead of confirmation by conventional techniques, improving clinical outcomes and reducing the spread of AMR.
