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

backgroundBacterial infection remains the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients with burn wounds. The increase in infection and multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens necessitates a periodic review of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in the burn units. The study aimed to determine the magnitude of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative (MDRGN) bacteria in children with burn wound infections and describe the resistance patterns in the tertiary and regional hospitals in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study was a hospital-based cross-sectional study design conducted between May 2017 and February 2018. Bacterial isolates from 103 wound swabs of pediatric patients with burn wounds were identified using conventional methods and API 20E. The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23.0.

resultsA total of 136 pathogenic Gram-negative organisms were isolated from burn wound infections in pediatric patients. The most isolated Gram-negative bacterium was
