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

Long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are increasingly recognised as settings where multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) persist and circulate. A point prevalence screening study conducted in 2022 in an LTCF in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen, Northern Italy, provided a collection of MDR Enterobacterales isolates from residents and staff. This study aimed to characterise the clonal structure, transmission dynamics, and resistance mechanisms of these isolates through high-resolution genomic analysis. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on third-generation cephalosporin- and/or carbapenem-resistant isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Morganella morganii, and Proteus mirabilis. Isolates underwent core genome multilocus sequence typing, phylogenetic reconstruction, and resistance gene profiling using Kleborate and ResFinder. K. pneumoniae isolates formed five major clusters, with ST39 confined to a single section, suggesting intra-section transmission. ST405 and ST307, both high-risk clones, were also detected, with ST307 harbouring the carbapenemase gene bla
