Changes in Burn Wound Microbiology Profile Over 14 Years of an Adult Tertiary Burn Center.
Article in Journal of burn care & research : official publication of the American Burn Association, 2023. 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
Burn wound colonization can progress to invasive infection. During 14 years of this study, the burn center was relocated to a center with improved infrastructure. This study investigates the association that infrastructure, geography, and time may have on colonization. Data were collected from October 2004 to August 2018, and relocation took place in June 2010, defining the two study periods. Admission swabs were within 48 hours. Unique isolates and resistance data were analyzed and compared statistically between the two study periods. In total, 2001 patients with 24,226 wound swabs were included. Median age was 45.4 (IQR 30.2-61.6), length of stay was 11 days (IQR 6-21), and %TBSA was 5.5 (IQR 2.5-11). Staph. aureus (33.7/100 patients) and Pseudomonas spp. (13.1/100 patients) were the most prevalent bacterial growths. After admission, the prevalence of methicillin resistant Staph. aureus, Coliform spp., and Aci. baumanni was greater in the first site, and Candida spp. colonization was higher in the second study period site. The prevalence of patients affected by multi-drug-resistant organisms was lower in the second study site (13.5/100 patients vs 16.6/100 patients; P < .05). There are differences in burn wound colonization across time, within the same region. Candida spp. growth has been shown to be increased over time and represents an added challenge. Awareness facilitates effective empirical antimicrobial therapies and protocols locally.
