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

We examined 834 isolates of urinary cultures (26 fungi and 808 isolates from 28 bacteria) in an academic geriatric teaching hospital for microbial spectrum and resistance analysis. Of the bacteria, 90% were associated to ten species. Detection rate of MRSA and ESBL was 1%, detection rate for pseudomonas aeruginosa, proteus species, coagulase negative staphylococci and klebsiella species were higher than in an university clinic (p < 0.001). Resistency rates were high for the 10 most frequent bacteria: 53.3% of cross-tabulations between bacterium and antibiotic agent (sulfamethoxazol-trimethoprim, amoxicillin-clavulanate, ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, cefuroxim, imipenem) showed resistency rate higher than 10%. We assume that specific factors of geriatric sample taking have an impact to our 2-year resistogram results. It is necessary to combine data analysis from comprehensive geriatric assessment and microbiological methods.
