Genomic analysis of intrahospital transmission of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria: a multicentre study in Japan.

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.
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
We aimed to identify genomically defined strain transmission events of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CRGNB) in hospitals, estimate species-specific transmission rates and identify risk factors for transmission. The study included 708 patients from a Japanese prospective multicentre cohort study, the MultiDrug-Resistant organisms clinical research network, from whom at least one CRGNB isolate was collected between 2019 and 2024 (750 isolates in total). Clinical data were retrieved from electronic medical records, and microbiological analyses were performed at a central reference laboratory. Transmission events were determined via whole-genome sequencing data and single-nucleotide polymorphism-based genomic clustering. We identified 37 genomic clusters associated with intrahospital transmission and 1 associated with interhospital transmission. Ninety-four patients (13%) carried at least one isolate involved in intrahospital transmission, and each transmission event involved two to six patients. Patients with
