Bacteriological Study Among Influenza-like Illness Cases in a Community Setting in Pune, India.
Article in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Influenza-like illness (ILI) and acute respiratory infection (ARI) are common presentations during winter, and indiscriminate antibiotic use contributes significantly to the emerging post-antibiotic era. Although viral agents causing ILI are predominant, they are indistinguishable from the bacterial agents based on the clinical features alone. The present study was aimed at determining the bacterial agents associated with ILI and their susceptibility pattern during a study done in a community setting in Pune during a surveillance of ILI between March 2013 to November 2016. Throat swabs from 512 suspected ILI cases were processed, and organisms were identified by the standard conventional method. An antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done as per the Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. The patients comprised 238 males and 274 females with the majority (38.7%) in the age group of ≤10 years. Bacteria could be isolated from 9.8 % of the patients. The predominant bacteria included beta-hemolytic
