Three-year evaluation of the nosocomial infections in pediatrics: bacterial and fungal profile and antimicrobial resistance pattern.
Article in Annals of clinical microbiology and antimicrobials, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundNosocomial infections (NIs) could lead to considerably higher mortality rates, length of the hospital stays and costs, and represent a serious public health concern worldwide. Besides, the unreasonable use of antibiotics could lead to get resistant to different antibiotics and create limited therapeutic options, increased risks of treatment failure and poor patient management. The current study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of NIs in an Iranian referral pediatrics hospital during 3 years.
methodsDuring the 3-year period, all electronic medical records of nosocomial infection episodes in hospitalized patients were retrospectively reviewed. The bacterial and fungal profile and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of isolates recovered from different samples of patients with NIs were determined.
resultsIn this study, a total of 718 patients with NIs was found, among which 61.3% were male (N = 440). The median age of the patients was 2.5 years (IQR: 1 month to 3 years). Klebsiella pneumonia and Candida spp. isolates were the most prevalent microorganisms (N = 125, 17.4%, N = 121, 16.9%, respectively), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (N = 72, 10%) and Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) (N = 69, 9.6%). Pseudomonas aeroginusa strains showed high sensitivity to the studied antibiotics. Acinetobacter baumannii strains displayed more than 90% resistance to the almost all antibiotics. All of the tested isolates of S. maltophilia were susceptible to Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (100%) and showed high susceptibility rate to ciprofloxacin (96.4%). Vancomycin resistance was not reported in S. aureus isolates, while 64% of Enterococcus spp. was resistant to vancomycin. The rates of methicillin resistance for S. aureus and CoNS isolates were 45.5% and 85.7%, respectively.
conclusionsHigh frequency of antimicrobial resistance to the commonly tested antibiotics is a concerning alarm. Therefore, effective infection control programs and rational antibiotic use policies should be established promptly.
