Frequency of Extensively Drug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Pakistan.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background Gram-negative bacteria are frequently involved in nosocomial infections. These bacteria have a particular tendency to develop antibiotic resistance and may become extensively drug-resistant (XDR). This study aimed to detect the prevalence of XDR Gram-negative bacteria in a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. Materials and methods Clinical samples were obtained from patients admitted to different inpatient wards and sent for microbial analysis and culture. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of isolates was performed by the disk diffusion method to detect XDR strains. Results Antibiotic susceptibility patterns of a total of 673 clinical samples were studied. Of all bacterial isolates, 64% were extensively drug-resistant.
