Risk Factors of Bacteremia following Multiple Traumas.
Article in Emergency medicine international, 2020. 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
backgroundBacteremia is a major nosocomial infection that frequently occurs in trauma patients, increasing morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors and to describe epidemiological patterns for early onset (EOB) and late onset (LOB) bacteremia after trauma.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed medical records of all trauma patients admitted to the surgical intensive care unit and general ward between January 2011 and December 2015. The information was collected for each patient and recorded in a computer database: early onset bacteremia (EOB) was defined as when onset occurred within 7 days after trauma, and late onset bacteremia (LOB) was defined as when onset occurred after 7 days from trauma.
resultsThirty-four patients of 859 (4%) developed bacteremia during their hospital stay: 4 (11.8%) developed EOB, 26 (76.4%) LOB, and 4 (11.8%) patients developed both of them. Sixty events of bacteremia happened to these patients: 9 (15.0%) EOB and 51 (85.0%) LOB. Gram-positive cocci were isolated more frequently than Gram-negative bacilli in both groups. Gram-positive cocci were more frequently isolated in EOB than in LOB; otherwise, there was no statistical significance (77.8% vs. 64.7%,
conclusionsPresence of pelvic and liver injury on arrival in emergency department, gastrointestinal tract perforation, and massive transfusion within the first 24 hours after trauma appears to be significant risk factors for bacteremia.
