Rectal Carriage of Sequence Type 307 Klebsiella pneumoniae High-Risk Clone Harboring Multiple Carbapenemase Genes in Community Hospitals Gauteng, South Africa.

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
Asymptomatic rectal carriers are recognized as reservoirs of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp), which can spread epidemic high-risk clones [e.g., sequence types (ST)-307] and plasmids [incompatibility group (Inc)-X3] in hospitals, with possible transmission into the community. This study investigated the epidemiology and characteristics of CRKp high-risk clones ST307 among rectal carriage isolates from community hospitals. A carbapenemase positivity rate of 24% was observed for all rectal screening performed during hospital admission (February to August 2021) in Gauteng, South Africa; 252 CRKp isolates were characterized. Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed using the VITEK 2 automated system, and polymerase chain reaction assays were used to detect K. pneumoniae ST307, carbapenemase genes, and associated mobile genetic elements (MGEs e.g., IncX3, IS3000). Of the 252 isolates, 25% (64/252) were ST307 positive and 75% (188/252) were non-ST307. Among the 64 ST307, 45% (29/64) harbored bla
