1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Pseudomonas æruginosa (PA) is among the major agents of infection in burns. Multidrug-resistant strains are commonly isolated, which hampers the management of these patients. Our purpose was to study the incidence density of PA colonization and PA infection and to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility of strains isolated in patients hospitalized in the Trauma and Burn Center's Burn Unit (TBC-BU) in Tunisia. It is a retrospective study including 1649 non-repetitive strains of PA during an 8-year period (2012- 2019). PA was the most common organism in TBC-BU bacterial ecology (15%). The incidence density of PA colonization and PA infection was 16.1‰ days of in-patient stay (DH) and 16.5‰ DH, respectively. A positive and statistically significant correlation was found between PA colonization and PA infection (rs=1; p=0,004). The colonization strains were mainly isolated from skin (25.1%) and central catheters (22.3%). Bacteremia was the most common infection (19.5%). The skin was the most common source of bacteremia (22.1%) followed by central catheters (18.3%). The highest rates of antibiotic resistance were found with piperacillin-tazobactam (72.4%), ceftazidime (49.4%), meropenem (74%), imipenem (70.5%), amikacin (74.6%), ciprofloxacin (56.5%) and fosfomycin (35.3%). We did not identify any colistin-resistant strain. The multidrug resistance rate was 78%. The metallo-carbapenemase-producing strains rate was 14.4%.
