1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Bacterial infections are frequent complications in cancer patients. Among them, those caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria increase morbidity and mortality mainly because of limited therapeutic options. Current knowledge regarding MDR infections in patients with solid tumors is limited. We assessed the epidemiology and risk factors of increased mortality in these patients. In this retrospective five-year single cohort observational study, we included all oncological patients with MDR infections. Cancer-related parameters, comorbidities, prior use of antibiotics, previous surgical interventions and hospitalization, as well as the use of invasive procedures were investigated as potential risk factors causing adverse outcomes. Seventy-three patients with MDR infection were included: 37% with carbapenem-resistant
