Study of biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance pattern of gram-negative Bacilli among the clinical isolates at BPKIHS, Dharan.
Article in BMC research notes, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesGram-negative bacilli are the common causative agents for community-acquired, nosocomial and opportunistic infections. The recent upsurge of biofilm, as well as beta-lactamases producing strains, have synergistically led to the extensive dissemination of multi-drug resistant gram-negative bacilli. This study was carried out with an intention to detect the biofilm formation by gram-negative bacilli and determine their antibiogram along with the detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) production.
resultsAmong 314 isolates, Escherichia coli (38%) were the predominant isolates followed by Acinetobacter spp. (20%), Klebsiella spp. (16%), and Pseudomonas spp. (12%). Overall, 197 (62.73%) of isolates were biofilm positive. 84 (26.75%) and 51 (16.24%) were confirmed as ESBL and MBL producers respectively. The association between MBL production and biofilm formation was statistically significant (χ
