1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeMultidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) among Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) are a major public health concern worldwide, which can even lead to death. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of MDROs among isolated GNB in the Security Forces Hospital Dammam (SFHD) and identify its associated risk factors. MATERIALS AND

methodsA cross-sectional study was performed on the most commonly isolated GNB in SFHD,

resultsOf the 1508 GNB included in the study, 969 were multidrug-resistant (MDR; 64.3%). The most commonly identified multidrug-resistant GNB (MDR-GNB) were found in female patients (66.4%) and those aged between 20 and 29 years (21.8%). Urine samples had the highest number of isolated GNB (926 of a total of 1508, 61.4%), and

conclusionMultidrug resistance is common among GNBs in SFHD. Antimicrobial stewardship programs in hospitals should be supported and implemented. Medical and public awareness of antibiotic use is another significant way to decrease the burden of MDR.
