Antimicrobial-Resistant Bacteria and Prescription of Antibiotics at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Purpose The purpose of the study was to assess the bacterial resistance and annual antibiotic consumption at a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia over a two-year period. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2017. Results The results showed that there was no significant difference between 2016 and 2017 data regarding patient characteristics like bed occupancy rate, the average length of stay, and the number of admissions; the same was true for bacterial characteristics like the number of bacteria, percentage of isolates in the group, and multidrug resistance (MDR) percentage (p: >0.05). Between 2016 and 2017, there was a slight reduction in the sensitivity of
