Profile and antibiotic-resistance pattern of bacteria isolated from endotracheal secretions of mechanically ventilated patients at a tertiary care hospital.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2021. 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
backgroundCritically ill patients on mechanical-ventilation are always at a higher risk of acquiring ventilator-associated respiratory infections. The current study was intended to determine the antibiotic-resistance pattern of bacteria recovered from the endotracheal (ET) specimens of ventilated patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a single-centered, retrospective study carried out in a 400-bed tertiary care hospital in Oman. The data of profile and antibiotic resistance pattern of bacterial isolates recovered from ET aspirates of ventilated patients during the period from January 2017 to August 2019 were retrieved from hospital database. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 22 (IBM, Armonk, New York, USA). Descriptive statistics were applied to find the frequencies and percentages. Charts and tables were constructed.
resultsIn total, 201 bacterial isolates recovered from ET secretions of 154 ventilated patients were studied. The rate of isolation was predominant among males (65.6%) and in elderly people (50%). Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) were predominantly (88.6%) isolated.
conclusionGram-negative bacteria were the predominant isolates in ET secretions of ventilated patients. There was an alarmingly high rate of antimicrobial resistance among GNB. A rational use of antibiotics, regular monitoring of antibiotic resistance and use of right combination of drugs, in addition to refining of existing infection control practices are critical to control the emergence of drug-resistant strains.
