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

backgroundThe genetic epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is geographically distinct. This study aimed to investigate the association of capsular types and plasmid-mediated factors with mortality in patients with CRKP bacteraemia.

methodsPatients with CRKP bacteraemia were enrolled at two medical centres between 2017 and 2021. Capsular typing, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for carbapenemase-encoding genes in all strains, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of selected strains were performed.

resultsAmong 402 patients with monomicrobial CRKP bacteraemia, 238 (59.2%) strains were carbapenemase-producing. Of the K47 strains (n = 188), 89.9% carried bla
