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
introductionInfections caused by Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are a serious therapeutic and clinical problem. An increasing role of ESBL(+) pathogens is observed in both community- and hospital-acquired infections. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence and the risk factors for ESBL(+) bacteria infection in a pediatric ward during a 5-year period. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe medical documentation data of patients hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics, Pediatric Nephrology and Allergology between 2011 and 2015 were subjected to a retrospective analysis. Cases of ESBL(+) bacterial infections were analyzed in detail.
results0.57% (46) of all the hospitalizations (8015) during the 5-year observation period in our department were caused by ESBL (+) pathogens. It constituted 8.5% of all positive microbiological cultures obtained. The analysis revealed an increasing trend in the number of ESBL (+) infections throughout the observed period. 43.5% of patients were only asymptomatic carriers. In 71.7% urinary tract structural and functional abnormalities were present. 76.1% of patients had been hospitalized previously and 60.9% had undergone urinary tract invasive procedures.
conclusionsThe results confirm the rising trend of ESBL (+) infections during the observed period. ESBL (+) bacteria were isolated primarily in previously hospitalized children with particular reference to urinary tract invasive procedures during hospitalizations. Moreover, the study showed that patients with urogenital disorders and non-urinary chronic diseases are more susceptible to these priority pathogen infections.
