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
backgroundAntibiotic resistance is a serious problem being faced by physicians worldwide. This article was designed to study physician perceptions of antibiotic resistance and their prescribing patterns. MATERIALS AND
methodsA structured questionnaire was developed for reporting the prevalence of antibiotic resistance as perceived by physicians and recording their antibiotic preferences in specific contexts. A total of 539 intensivists across India participated in the study.
resultsThe prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogens was reported to be on the rise in Intensive Care Units. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistant
conclusionThis study reveals that the prevalence of MDR Gram-negative pathogens is perceived to be on the rise. Prescription patterns indicate high levels of variability. Hence, antibiotic stewardship is essential to standardize antibiotic prescriptions not only for efficacy but also to reduce the burden of multiple drug resistance.
