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

After nearly 10 years of fluoroquinolone usage for a wide range of bacterial infections, a striking difference has been observed in the incidence of bacterial resistance to fluoroquinolones between bacteria responsible for community- and hospital-acquired infections, respectively. Resistance is only rarely encountered among common pathogens. In most studies, 97 to 100% of all pathogens are fully susceptible to fluoroquinolones. In contrast, resistance to fluoroquinolones has emerged and increased among bacteria responsible for nosocomial infections. The incidence of resistance to fluoroquinolones varies between bacterial species, clinical settings and countries, and is related to local epidemic spread of a few clones. The highest incidence of resistance is observed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., Serratia marcescens and, particularly, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): some investigators have reported 95 to 100% fluoroquinolone resistance among MRSA. Follow-up of trends in the resistance to fluoroquinolones based upon surveillance programmes are needed.
