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

Objective The aim of this study was to determine common microorganisms causing septicemia and their antimicrobial sensitivities in patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using clinical criteria to diagnose patients as having septicemia where blood for culture and sensitivity (CS) was sent to the laboratory of a tertiary care hospital, Rehman Medical Institute, (Peshawar), Pakistan, during 2019. All patients diagnosed with septicemia regardless of age and gender were included in the study. The blood CS report was collected after 7-14 days of inoculation. Data were recorded on structured performa and analyzed using SPSS Version 20 (IBM Corp.). Results A total of 176 patients, with a mean age of 2.92±1.32 years, fulfilled the criteria for sepsis with a mean age of 2.92±1.32 years. Among them, 61.9% were male and 38.1% were female. Among common bacterial isolates,
