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
The importance of bacteria in the treatment of patients with chronic wounds has been a focus of attention in recent years. A bacteriological swab taken from the wound in a Essen rotary technique is usually adequate for the diagnosis. The current detection rate of bacteria in patients with chronic leg ulcers in Germany is about 50 % for Staphylococcus aureus, 30 % for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacteriaceae and approximately 10 % for MRSA. Most of these patients have a clinically unimportant bacterial colonization, so that systemic administration of antibiotics usually is not required. For wound cleansing only sterile solutions such as Ringer's or physiological saline solution should be used. If tap water is used, then the use of sterile filters is strongly recommended. In patients with increased risk of infection, a critical colonization or local signs of infection, modern wound antiseptics using polyhexanide or octenidine are available. The use of systemic antibiotics should be strictly limited to patients with systemic signs of infections.
