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) is an increasing challenge for the therapy of bacterial infections. Currently, patient treatment is guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) using phenotypic assays and species identification by MALDI-ToF biotyping. Bacterial phenotype prediction using omics technologies could offer several advantages over current diagnostic methods. It would allow species identification and AST to be combined in a single measurement, it would eliminate the need for secondary cultivation and could enable the prediction of phenotypes beyond AMR, such as virulence. In this study, the potential of proteomics for clinical microbiology was evaluated in an analysis of 126 clinical isolates covering 16 species, including all ESKAPE genera and 29 of the most common AMR gene families. For this purpose, a flexible workflow was developed, which enables reporting of the AMR phenotype and the species of primary cultures within 2h. Proteomics provided high specificity (100%) and sensitivity (94.4%) for AMR detection, while allowing species identification from very large sequence databases with high accuracy. The results show that proteomics is well-suited for phenotyping clinical bacterial isolates and has the potential to become a valuable diagnostic tool for clinical microbiology in the future.
