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

objectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility, virulence factors and clonal relationship among Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from environmental sources, hospitalized patients and the surfaces of cockroaches in the ICUs of four hospitals in Hamadan, west of Iran. A total of 237, 286 and 156 bacterial isolates were collected from clinical, environmental and cockroach sources respectively from May to September, 2017. The antimicrobial susceptibility was determined using disk diffusion method. The virulence factors, exotoxins A, S and U were detected by PCR. The genetic linkage of P. aeruginosa isolates were analyzed by Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC)-PCR.

resultsAccording to our findings, 58 (24.4%), 46 (16%) and 5 (3.25) P. aeruginosa were isolated from clinical, environmental and cockroach samples respectively. The MDR phenotypes were detected in 18 (45%) and 15 (37.5%) of clinical and environmental strains. The environmental isolates harbored more exoA and exoS than did clinical isolates. Genetic diversity was established among P. aeruginosa isolates as 14 different ERIC fingerprints were detected. The clonal relationships was detected among clinical, environmental and cockroach isolates. Our results highlighted the importance of identifying and controlling the potential sources of P. aeruginosa infections in hospitals.
