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

objectivesKlebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) sequence type (ST) 11 has emerged as a significant public health threat in China, yet its endemic population and evolutionary dynamics remain incompletely understood. To address this, we investigated the national distribution and local evolution of KPC-KP ST11 in China.

methodsOur analysis included 4,262 KPC-KP ST11 genomes, comprising 56 isolates from a Guangdong hospital and 4,206 publicly available genomes. The genomic analysis encompassed population structure, genome annotation, and evolutionary dynamics, and was conducted on all sequenced genomes.

resultsUsing a threshold of 10 core genome allelic differences, hierarchical clustering revealed 456 lineages, highlighting substantial regional-specific distribution. The majority of the genomes carried the bla

conclusionIn conclusion the evolutionary trajectories of KPC-KP ST11 offer valuable insights into localized persistence and intermittent dissemination, enhancing our understanding of its regional spread and adaptation.
