Article in Annals of burns and fire disasters, 2021. 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
Nosocomial bacteremia (NB) is one of the most severe infections in burns in intensive care units. Their prognosis is worsened with the emergence and spread of multidrug resistant bacteria (MDR). Our retrospective study aimed to investigate clinical and bacteriological characteristics of NB occurring in patients hospitalized in the Trauma and Burn Center's Burn Unit (TBC-BU) in Tunisia, during a 3-year period (2016-2018). We found 261 NB in 216 patients, for a prevalence of 25.7% and an incidence density of 13.4‰ days of in-patient stay. The vast majority (88.9%) of NB occurred during the first 2 weeks of hospitalization. The catheterrelated bacteremia rate was 11.1%. P. æruginosa (20.2%) and A. baumannii (16.8%) were the 2 species most frequently isolated when S. aureus represented only 7.5% of isolates. Resistance rates were high, with 71% of P. æruginosa resistant to ceftazidime, 64% of S. aureus being MRSA, 69,5% of resistance to 3rd generation cephalosporins among Enterobacteriaceae, and colimycin remaining the only regularly active antibiotic (98%) on A. baumannii. The MDR rate was 44%, represented mainly by A. baumannii, ESBL-E and P. æruginosa. The mortality rate due to NB was 25%, with a significantly higher rate of MDR in fatal NB compared to that in NB with favorable outcome (p = 0,000019).
