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 and objectives: There are few Australian data regarding the burden of hospital-onset bloodstream infections (HO-BSIs). To quantify the impact of antimicrobial-susceptible and -resistant HO-BSIs on patient outcomes by augmenting laboratory-based surveillance data. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary referral hospital in Melbourne, Australia, from 2015 to 2020. We linked administrative data with bloodstream infection surveillance data from the Australian Group on Antimicrobial Resistance. We performed cause-specific Cox proportional hazards regression to quantify the impact of HO-BSI on inpatient mortality and discharge alive, with separate models for Enterobacterales, Results: The cohort of 278 984 admissions included 814 (0.3%) HO-BSIs. Enterobacterales were the most frequent pathogens, followed by enterococci, Conclusions: Antimicrobial-susceptible and -resistant HO-BSIs have a substantial impact on patient outcomes. We demonstrated the feasibility of leveraging a national laboratory-based surveillance system to quantify the impact of HO-BSI.
