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: Carbapenem-resistant Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients with microbiologically confirmed CRKP infections at a tertiary TCM hospital between 2019 and 2022. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess independent risk factors for mortality. We performed whole-genome sequencing on 102 CRKP isolates (2022) to characterize antimicrobial resistance determinants, virulence factors, and phylogenetic relationships. Results: In our cohort of 233 CRKP-infected patients (76 non-survivors, 157 survivors), multivariate analysis identified four independent predictors of in-hospital mortality: multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (aOR 3.69, 95% CI 1.28-10.61; P = 0.015), sepsis (aOR 3.04, 95% CI 1.30-7.12; P = 0.011), invasive mechanical ventilation (aOR 5.95, 95% CI 2.78-12.75; P<0.001), and ICU admission (aOR 4.10, 95% CI 1.55-10.84; P = 0.005). Genomic analysis identified ST11-KL64 (55.9%, 57/102) and ST15-KL19 (21.6%, 22/102) as dominant clones, alongside novel strains ST1658-KL60 and ST3345-KL8. The prevalent plasmid was IncFIB(K) (85.3%), followed by IncHI1B (66.7%); IncFII(pHN7A8) (28.4%) was exclusive to ST11. The predominant capsular type was KL64:O2a. Carbapenem resistance was primarily driven by Conclusions: Our study highlights the predominance of ST11-KL64 and ST15-KL19 CRKP clones in a TCM hospital setting, with
