Bacterial Pathogens, Drug-Resistance Profile and Its Associated Factors from Patients with Suspected Peritonitis in Southern Ethiopia.

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
backgroundAscitic fluid plays a critical role in the microbiological diagnosis of peritonitis. Drug-resistant bacterial infection of the peritoneal cavity is becoming a public health threat. However, data on bacterial profile and antimicrobial-resistant pattern of isolates from the ascitic fluid are scarce. Thus, this study was aimed to assess drug-resistant bacteriological profiles and factors associated with peritonitis in southern Ethiopia.
methodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2019 to December 2019. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic and clinical data. A total of 147 ascitic fluid samples were aseptically collected and inoculated onto blood agar, MacConkey agar, and chocolate agar. The inoculated culture media were incubated aerobically and micro-aerobically at 37°C for 48 hrs. Bacterial identification was done by standard protocols and the antimicrobial susceptibility testing by Kirby Bauer's disk diffusion method. Logistic regression was used to identify the associated factors with bacterial peritonitis.
resultsOf the total study participants, the overall magnitude of bacterial peritonitis was 19.05% with a total of 30 bacterial isolates. Majority of the isolates were Gram negative bacteria with predominant species
conclusionNearly half of the isolated bacteria were observed to be MDR, and this may alarm all healthcare workers and policymakers. Thus, continuous surveillance of antimicrobial resistance patterns along with associated factors is essential for regular monitoring of transmission of drug-resistant bacteria and the emergence of antibiotic resistance.
