Gram-negative bacteria as emerging pathogens affecting mortality in skin and soft tissue infections.
Article in Hippokratia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
introductionSkin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are commonly encountered in clinical practice and mainly caused by gram-positive cocci such as
methodsIn this study, we retrospectively reviewed the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, microbiology, and treatment of patients admitted with SSTI during a five-year period in the Internal Medicine Department of a tertiary hospital.
resultsDuring the study period, 317 patients were recorded, with a mean age of 72.1 years. The most common underlying medical conditions were diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure. Cultures were positive in 23.3 % of cases, 62.2 % of which were polymicrobial. The most frequently isolated microorganisms were
conclusionThis study denotes the role of gram-negative bacteria in SSTI epidemiology. Therapeutic protocols regarding the empiric treatment of SSTIs should necessarily take into account the local epidemiology of isolated pathogens and antimicrobial resistance. HIPPOKRATIA 2018, 22(1): 23-28.
