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

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen associated with healthcare-acquired infections. This study examined the clonal relatedness and drug resistance of 38 clinical isolates of A. baumannii from three hospitals in Poland and five isolates from pig manure. PFGE analysis identified seven clusters (A-G); of these, clusters A and B comprised the majority of clinical isolates, while A and C were dominated by the pig manure isolates, and cluster C included the reference strain ATCC 17978. MLST analysis of the clinical isolates revealed nine sequence types (STs), including three previously-unreported types with a newly-discovered gdhB gene allele. Three new STs were detected in the same hospital. Most isolates belonged to the international clonal complex 2 (IC2), a key contributor to the global spread of A. baumannii. Alarmingly, while all isolates from pig manure remained susceptible to the tested antibiotics, over 97.3% of clinical isolates were classified as extensively drug-resistant (XDR). Detection of β-lactamase-encoding genes by targeted PCR revealed nearly ubiquitous presence of bla
