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

Introduction: This study assessed the clinical burden of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) infections according to different resistance mechanisms among Enterobacterales isolates in Spain. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in five Spanish hospitals from the National Mapping of Carbapenemases in Spain study. Patients were included if they were 18 years or older; had a diagnosis of complicated intraabdominal infection (cIAI), complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), bloodstream infection (BSI), or hospital-acquired or ventilator-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP) between 2017 and 2018; and had a confirmed CPE isolate. Results: In total, 118 patients were evaluable for clinical outcomes. The most common mechanism of carbapenem resistance was Discussion: Data suggest that CPE infections are associated with a high disease burden, low rates of clinical cure, and high rates of relapse and mortality in Spain. However, results should be interpreted with caution due to the limited sample size which may have restricted the precision of these estimates and gaps in minimal inhibitory concentration data availability.
