Bacterial co-infections in COVID-19 pneumonia in a tertiary care hospital: Surfing the first wave.
Observational study in Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The aim of this study is to review bacterial isolates from respiratory samples of patients with severe COVID-19 disease during the first 2 months of the first wave in our hospital. A single-center retrospective observational study in critically ill adult patients was performed. A total of 1251 respiratory samples from 1195 patients were processed. Samples from 66 patients (5.52%) were determined to be microbiologically significant by a semi-quantitative culture. All patients received broad spectrum antibiotherapy as an empirical treatment. The isolated bacteria were mainly Enterobacterales followed by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacterial co-infections in ICU stay could seem not dependent on the virus that has produced the viral pneumonia similarly as with other respiratory viruses such as Influenza virus.
