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

backgroundOne of the main problems in the treatment of cases of P. aeruginosa especially in the orthopedic infections is the occurrence of high antibiotic resistance. The present study was carried out in order to investigate the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant P. aeruginosa in the cases of trauma in Iran.

methodsTwo hundred and fifty swab samples were collected from the site of trauma from the patients who referred to the orthopedic wards of the Iranian health centers. Samples were cultured immediately and those that were P. aeruginosa-positive were analyzed by the disk diffusion method.

resultsOf 250 swab samples collected, 43 were positive for P. aeruginosa (17.2%). The results of the culture technique were also confirmed by the PCR reaction. Of 43 P. aeruginosa isolates, 32 strains (74.41%) were resistant to vancomycin. Total prevalence of bacteria in Tehran and Mashhad hospitals were 18.46% and 15.83%, respectively. Statistically significant difference was seen for the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant P. aeruginosa between the samples collected from Tehran and Mashhad (P =0.027). More than 55 years old and less than 10 years old patients had the highest prevalence of P. aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa strains of male and more than 55 years old patients harbored the highest levels of resistance against vancomycin.

conclusionsIt is logical to primary identification of type of bacteria causing infection in the site of trauma and then using from the disk diffusion method to choose the best antimicrobial agent. Highest levels of health care should be performed for the patients less than 10 years and more than 55 years old patients.
