Microbial Repercussion on Hemodialysis Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection Outcome: A 2-Year Retrospective Study.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundAlbeit growing technical advances in the design of hemodialysis catheters, intravascular catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) still represents an utmost clinical challenge to the health-care workers (HCWs). Data regarding the influence of the culprit organism on the scenario of CRBSI in the literature are extremely lacking. Thereby, this research was carried out.
methodsWe undertook a retrospective cohort study over an interval of 2 years, involving patients who underwent regular hemodialysis via catheters in the Renal Dialysis Unit (RDU) of Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital (DSFH), Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The study enrolled 139 patients (56.8% females and 43.2% males), with mean age of 60.79 ± 11.45 years.
resultsThe aggregate rate of CRBSI was 5.1/1000 catheter days. Amongst the 139 study candidates confirmed of having CRBSI, while 69.8% of CRBSIs were ascribed to Gram-positive cocci, about one-third of the infectious episodes were secondary to Gram-negative bacilli. Interestingly, fever was the most common presentation of
conclusionOur study disclosed that the illicit organism has a repercussion on the clinical presentation as well as the fate of CRBSI among hemodialysis patients. This highlights the worth of identifying the infected cases in a periodic manner, to avoid the occurrence of devastating complications. A large body of work from various hemodialysis centers should take place in the near future so as to provide more insight in this perspective.
