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

A retrospective case series of acinetobacter infections at a tertiary hospital in Nairobi was conducted to determine the mortality rate and factors associated with mortality. Over an eight-year period, 80 clinically significant infections were identified. The majority of infections were ventilator-associated pneumonia (40%) and bloodstream infections (30%). Eighty-six percent of the isolates were multi-drug resistant. The mortality rate in the study cohort was 45%. Twelve patients grew
