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

Rapid antibiotic susceptibility tests, performed directly on whole blood samples, will offer great clinical advantages. This issue is of considerable importance when it comes to bioterror pathogens where prompt antibiotic treatment should be offered to infected patients as well as prophylaxis to suspected exposed individuals. Herein, we describe a novel and rapid method, named MAPt, that is based on the direct application of a blood sample onto solid agar that has been embedded with different concentrations of the tested antibiotic. Following a short incubation, bacterial growth is monitored by qPCR. The method was applied on blood cultures and whole blood samples inoculated with the Tier-1 pathogens
