Bacteriological Profile and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns of Bloodstream Infection at Kigali University Teaching Hospital.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundWorldwide, bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) constitute an important cause of morbidity and mortality in clinical settings. Due to the limited laboratory facilities in sub-Saharan Africa, poor diagnosis of BSIs results in poor clinical outcomes and leads to a risk of antimicrobial resistance. The present work was carried out to describe the microbiological features of BSIs using the data collected from Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Kigali (CHUK).
methodsA retrospective study was carried out at CHUK. The blood culture results of 2,910 cases - from adults, children and infants - were reviewed in the Microbiology service from October 2017 to October 2018. The following variables were considered: age, gender, admitting department, blood culture results, and antimicrobials sensitivity test results. Data were entered and analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2013.
resultsTwelve percent (341/2,910) of blood culture results reviewed were positive with 108 (31.7%) Gram positive bacteria and 233 (68.3%) Gram negative bacteria. The most prevalent pathogens were
conclusionThe prevalence of bacterial pathogens in BSIs was found to be high. The antibiotic resistance to the commonly used antibiotics was high. Appropriate treatment of BSIs should be based on the current knowledge of bacterial resistance pattern. This study will help in formulating management of diagnostic guidelines and antibiotic policy.
