Epidemiology and Drug Resistance of Fracture-Related Infection of the Long Bones of the Extremities: A Retrospective Study at the Largest Trauma Center in Southwest China.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Objective: To describe the demographic characteristics, risk factors, and bacterial resistance of fracture-related infection (FRI) of the long bones of the extremities. Materials and Methods: This single-center study retrospectively evaluated patients with FRI of the long bones of the extremities at West China Hospital between January 2012 and December 2017, and analyzed the demographic characteristics, risk factors, distribution of pathogenic bacteria, and bacterial drug resistance. Results: Among 9,900 patients, 535 patients (5.4%) were diagnosed with FRI. The most common site of FRI was tibiofibular (298, 55.7%), with 424 cases (79.2%) of open fractures, and 282 cases (52.7%) due to traffic injuries. The 41-50 years age group had the highest incidence of FRI with 157 (29.3%) cases. Overall, 546 strains of 52 types of bacteria were detected in FRI patients, with 105 strains of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Methicillin-resistant Conclusion: This study clarified the infection rates, changes in the bacterial spectrum, and drug resistance characteristics, and risk factors of FRI of the long bones of the extremities in the largest trauma center in southwest China.
