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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveBacterial rhinosinusitis is one of the most frequent indications for an antibiotic therapy. The objective of this study was the analysis of the current pathogen spectrum and its antimicrobial susceptibility. MATERIAL AND

methodsBetween 1999 and 2004, 188 specimens obtained from 170 patients with acute, purulent rhinosinusitis were analysed.

resultsA total of 217 pathogens were isolated. The most common isolates were Streptococcus pneumoniae (33%), Haemophilus influenzae (27%), Staphylococcus aureus (13%), Moraxella catarrhalis (11%) and streptococci (7%). S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis were the predominant pathogens in children. S. pneumoniae, S. aureus and streptococci, however, dominated in specimens from adults.

conclusionBased on these results, adults should be treated with an aminopenicillin with beta-lactamase inhibitor or a cephalosporin of the second generation. For children , however, the first line antibiotic is an aminopenicillin.
