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

backgroundThe bacterial infections that prevail in the burnt patients continue to be a critical complication in the burnt patients and vary with time and place. Identification of bacterial pathogens with information of their antimicrobial susceptibility of burn wounds can help clinicians to select appropriate medication procedure as in providing them with suitable antibiotic for empirical treatment.

methodsRetrospective study of thirty-one months (Jan 2015 to July 2017) was designed to evaluate bacteria involved in burnt wound infection and its antimicrobial susceptibilities in a Burn Intensive Care Unit of Eastern India. Pus samples were cultured on cysteine Lactose electrolyte deficient agar (Hi-Media, India). Positive bacteria cultures were identified and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using VITEK®2 (bioMerieux, Durham, NC, USA) and interpreted according to Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines.

resultsTwo hundred and seventy-two wound swabs from burnt patients were received, out of which 62.8% (n = 185) were revealed as positive for the presence of bacteria.

conclusionData regarding the incidence of pathogens and their resistance patterns would benefit the clinicians to prescribe appropriate antibiotics, articulating policies for empirical antimicrobial therapy to control the different types of infections.
