High Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance among Opportunistic Pathogens Isolated from Patients with COVID-19 under Mechanical Ventilation: Results of a Single-Center Study.

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 effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on antibiotic resistance diffusion in healthcare settings has not been fully investigated. In this study we evaluated the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among opportunistic pathogens isolated from patients with COVID-19 under mechanical ventilation. An observational, retrospective, analysis was performed on confirmed cases of COVID-19 patients who were admitted to the ICU department of San Salvatore Hospital in Pesaro, Italy, from 1 February 2021 to 31 May 2021. We considered all consecutive patients aged ≥ 18, under mechanical ventilation for longer than 24 h. Eighty-nine patients, 66 (74.1%) men and 23 (25.9%) women, with a median age of 67.1 years, were recruited. Sixty-eight patients (76.4%) had at least one infection, and 11 patients (12.3%) were colonized, while in the remaining 10 patients (11.2%) neither colonization nor infection occurred. In total, 173 microorganisms were isolated. There were 73 isolates (42.2%) causing bacterial or fungal infections while the remaining 100 isolates (57.8%) were colonizers. Among Gram-negative bacteria,
