Bacteria Detected in both Urine and Open Wounds in Nursing Home Residents: a Pilot Study.
Article in mSphere, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Nursing home residents are at a greater risk of developing pressure injuries that develop into an open wound, which can become colonized with bacteria. Understanding the factors that influence microbial colonization of open wounds can lead to the prevention of infections. The relationship between bacteria found in urine and those in open wounds is currently unknown. To determine if bacterial species colonizing open wounds are also found in the urine, we conducted a pilot study with nursing home residents, comparing bacterial species present in the urine with those present in wounds between the umbilicus and mid-thigh. To identify microbial species that were present in both urine and open wound at one time point in one patient, standard clinical bacteriologic culture techniques followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) were used, as well as 16S rRNA-encoding gene amplicon sequencing. We found some bacterial species detected in urine were also detected in open wounds in one individual at one time point, using both culture-dependent and -independent techniques. Bacterial species that were more often detected, using culture-dependent and -independent methods, at both sites included
