Prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative clinical isolates from a major secondary hospital in Kuwait: a retrospective descriptive study.
Article in Germs, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionBuilding an antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance system in a country requires analysis of available data on AMR in clinical isolates. This study's objective was to determine the AMR prevalence of Gram-negative bacterial (GNB) isolates cultured from clinical specimens at a major general hospital in Kuwait.
methodsA retrospective descriptive study was conducted on AMR profiles of GNB clinical isolates (n=5290) between January and December 2018. Data were extracted from the laboratory information system in the hospital. The GNB organisms (i.e.,
resultsOverall, high AMR prevalence (>50%) against ampicillin, cefuroxime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, were observed across the GNB organisms. However, low resistance prevalence (<10%) were observed against amikacin, ertapenem, meropenem, and piperacillin/tazobactam. In general, AMR prevalence in
conclusionsOur findings demonstrate high AMR prevalence among common Gram-negative bacteria at this major hospital. Monitoring data on antimicrobial susceptibility of common bacterial organisms is critical for assessing trends in AMR at hospitals and for informing policy decisions.
