Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionInfections are very frequent in patients who are admitted to Intensive Care Units, sometimes being a reason for admission and in others the infection is acquired during ICU stay. EPIDEMIOLOGY: The most frequent causes of acquired infection in the community that require admission to the ICU are respiratory infections, urinary tract infections and infections of the central nervous system. Among the infections acquired in the ICU, devices-associated infections are the most frequent. ETIOLOGY: The most frequent in ICU are Gram negative pathogens. ETIOPATHOGENESIS: In the critical patient, several factors are combined making them especially vulnerable to infections. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS: Depends on the location of the infection. DIAGNOSIS: It must be early due to its increased mortality. PROGNOSIS: Nosocomial infections are associated with an increase in mortality and in the length of stay. TREATMENT: The delay in treatment is associated with an increase in mortality.
