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
introductionEnterococci are opportunistic pathogens which represent one of the leading agents of nosocomial infections, especially urinary tract infections (UTI) in hospitalized patients. The aim of the present study was to determine the resistance pattern and the type of resistance genes in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus isolated from an educational hospital in Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom February 2012 till February 2013, one hundred and eighty six clinical isolates from different department of educational hospitals were collected and identified as Enterococci and specified by biochemical tests. Identification was confirmed by specific PCR. Antibiotic resistance properties of strains were examined by Kerby-bauer method. PCR was performed for ddlE, ddlF, vanA and vanB genes.
resultsOne hundred and six (57%) isolates were identified as E. faecalis and 80 (43%) of the isolates were identified as E. faecium. 24 isolates had vanA gene and 19 isolates had vanB genes. In E. faecalis isolates, 15 isolates had vanB and 4 isolates had vanA gene. In E. faecium isolates, 20 isolates had vanA and 4 isolates had vanB gene. Prevalence of van genes between E. faecalis and E. faecium were significantly different for both vanA and vanB (p<0.01, p<0.041, respectively). VRE isolates were sensitive to Linezolid, Nitrofurantoin and Tigecyclin. DISCUSSION: The overall prevalence of VRE was 23.65%, which shows an increase in VRE isolation in our region. Also, prevalence of E. faecium dramatically increased from 9% to 43% in the present study. Also increase in Gentamicin resistant isolates observed, but VRE isolates were sensitive to Linezolid, Tigecyclin and Nitrofurantoin. Stewardships for antibiotic usage in hospitals, especially for last option antibiotics, can prevent the spread of resistant isolates and losing all treatment options in the future.
