Healthcare-associated infections and the distribution of causative pathogens in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common diseases worldwide, and is a significant risk factor for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Our aim in this study was to compare the distributions of HAIs and the causative pathogens between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. In this study, 716 HAIs in 465 diabetic patients and 761 HAIs in 465 non-diabetic patients were evaluated. HAIs in patients with DM were most frequently urinary tract infections (UTIs) [266 infections (37.2 %)], followed by blood stream infections (BSIs) [161 infections (22.5 %)], surgical site infections (SSIs) [127 infections (17.7 %)], pneumonia [107 infections (14.9 %)] and any other infections [161 infections (22.5 %)]. The rates of UTIs, BSIs, SSIs, pneumonia and any other infections were similar between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. In terms of the causative pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus more frequently caused SSIs and Candida spp more frequently caused UTIs in diabetic patients compared with non-diabetic patients. We found no differences in the distribution of HAIs between patients without and with DM. However, S. aureus and Candida spp were more common causative pathogens of SSIs and URTIs, respectively, in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients.
