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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesCarbapenem-resistant

methodsBetween 2010 and 2015, 317 non-duplicate CRKP isolates were collected at Charles Nicolle Hospital, Tunis. Colistin MICs were determined by broth microdilution. Phenotypic tests and PCR characterized carbapenemases, extended-spectrum β-lactamases, AmpC, plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance,

resultsFive isolates (1.6%) were colistin-resistant. All were multidrug-resistant, produced OXA-48, and two also carried NDM-1. The isolates belonged to five distinct sequence types, including high-risk clones (ST11, ST101, ST147). No

conclusionsIn Tunisian CRKP, colistin resistance was associated with chromosomal alterations, predominantly involving disruption of the MgrB-PhoPQ pathway, in the absence of
