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

We conducted a thirty-four-month retrospective study in the Burns Center from June 2015 to 30 April 2018. A total of 1585 burn wound swabs were taken from 258 admitted patients, of both sex and average age from 2 to 84 years old. Out of the 1585 burn wound swabs, 79.12% were positive for bacterial growth. Gram-negative bacteria were the most common bacteria isolated from burn wound swabs (68.95%), followed by cocci gram positive (28.62%), which were represented mainly by Staphylococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp. species, and then other species such as candida spp. (2.41%). Staphylococcus aureus was found to be the most common isolate (of the 70 Staphylococcus aureus, 52 were methicillino-resistant MRSA) followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=58; 25.71%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=43; 20.15%), Acinetobacter baumannii (n=18; 18.70%), Proteus spp. (n=17; 7.91%), Escherichia coli (n=14; 5,75%), Enterobacter spp. (n=8; 3.22%), Candida spp. (n=6, 2.41%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (n=2; 1.73%), and lastly Enterococcus spp. and Citrobacter freundii (n=1; 1.73%). P. aeruginosa was the most frequent Gram-negative bacteria isolated (33.91%). Most of the species isolated were multidrug-resistant (MDR). Knowledge of the bacteria responsible for infectious complications and their antibiotic susceptibilities is a prerequisite for treating burn patients.
