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
This study was longitudinal, conducted at the Trauma and Burn Centre between January and June 2017. Its purpose was to determine the prevalence of CPE infection among patients admitted to the Burn Intensive Care Unit, and to study their clinical and biological characteristics. Molecular typing of carbapenemases was performed with PCR type GeneXpert. Thirteen patients were infected with 7 episodes of bacteremia, 2 had ventilator acquired pneumonia and 4 catheter infections, with a prevalence of 7% of admissions. The average length of stay in the intensive care unit prior to infection was 12 days. Antibiotic exposure involved 12 of the 13 patients: 9 patients were transferred from other intensive care units. Thirteen and ten patients were respectively exposed to central catheterization and mechanical ventilation. The predominant carbapenemase among the infecting carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriacae strains was NDM carbapenemase (9/15), with a first description of P. stuartii carrying blaNDM strain in Tunisia. One patient died before adapting antibiotic therapy. For the others, 13 adapted bi-antibiotherapies were prescribed. There were five patient deaths from infection, four of whom had received appropriate antibiotic therapy. Imipenem was used each time the MIC was ≤4mg/l, in combination with another antibiotic: amikacin (3/8), colimycin (4/8), or tigecycline (1/8). Three of these prescriptions resulted in death. The prevalence of carbapenemase-producing enterobacterial infections is high among burn patients with a predominance of NDM-type carbapenemase.
