Emerging virulent clones of community-onset Acinetobacter baumannii in Taiwan.
Article in Tropical medicine and health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAcinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a significant global pathogen, and community-acquired infections are concerning due to their severe clinical outcomes and high mortality. Despite this, the molecular epidemiology and phenotypic characteristics of community-acquired/community-onset A. baumannii (CAAB/COAB) strains remain poorly understood. This study analyzed the genotypes, virulence traits, and clinical manifestations of 32 COAB isolates collected in Taiwan between 2015 and 2017.
methodsCapsular types (KLs), sequence types (STs) from the Oxford and Pasteur schemes, and international clones (ICs) were identified among the 32 COAB isolates. In vitro virulence was assessed by evaluating biofilm formation, motility, resistance to desiccation and serum, and in vivo virulence was confirmed in a Galleria mellonella larvae model. Associations between KL/ST types and virulence phenotypes, as well as between KL/ST types and the clinical manifestations of patients, were also analyzed.
resultsThe results showed that among the tested COAB isolates, KL49 was the predominant capsular type, representing 18.8% (n = 6) of samples, and ST10
conclusionsThis is the first report identifying KL49/ST10
