Central line-related bloodstream infections and microbiological study in an Egyptian Ministry of Health Hospital.
Article in African health sciences, 2020. 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
backgroundCentral line-associated bloodstream infections continue to be one of the most important health problems in ICU.
objectivesTo identify the central line-related bloodstream infections and their microbiological characteristics Specific objectives to the identify the incidence, predisposing factors of central line-related bloodstream Infections and study the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of the isolated organisms. MATERIAL AND
methodsPatients' demographic, clinical data, central venous catheter related data,and blood culture specimen collection data were collected utilizing a descriptive exploratory design from a purposive sample of 120 ICU patients underwent insertion central venous catheter.
resultsout of 120 central line catheters sent for culture from patients immediately and seven days after insertion., 13(10.83%) were positive seven days after insertion. Of the 13 infection cases, 10 cases were
conclusion10.83 % developed bacterial blood stream infection 7 days after insertion of central venous catheters, and most of bacterial isolates were
