Distribution of pathogenic bacteria in lower respiratory tract infection in lung cancer patients after chemotherapy and analysis of integron resistance genes in respiratory tract isolates of uninfected patients.

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
backgroundWe studied the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in lower respiratory tract infection in lung cancer patients after chemotherapy and analyzed the integron resistance genes in respiratory tract isolates of uninfected patients.
methodsRetrospective analysis was used to select sputum samples from 400 lung cancer patients after chemotherapy admitted in Fuyang People's Hospital from July 2017 to July 2019. Culture, isolation and identification of strains were conducted in accordance with the national clinical examination operating procedures.
resultsA total of 134 strains were identified. In 120 patients with pulmonary infection, 114 strains were cultured. Twenty strains of klebsiella pneumoniae were cultured in 280 patients without pulmonary infection. Among the 134 strains, the detection rate of gram-negative bacteria was 79.10%. The first four strains were
conclusionsLung cancer patients after chemotherapy have a high resistance to commonly used antimicrobial drugs, so it is necessary to detect the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms in clinical practice. The strains carried by patients with lung cancer without pulmonary infection during chemotherapy can isolate type I integrons, suggesting that the spread of drug resistance at gene level should be closely detected.
