The bacterial pathogen and resistance spectrum in a dermatological inpatient ward: a six-year, retrospective, epidemiological study.

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
Aim: Treatment of bacterial soft tissue infections is an essential part of clinical dermatology, and the choice of antibiotic therapy is often empirical. The aim of this longitudinal retrospective study was to evaluate bacterial epidemiology, resistance patterns and antibiotic consumption in a dermatological inpatient ward. Method: Bacterial isolates and antimicrobial susceptibility testing from a dermatological inpatient ward were recorded retrospectively from 2011 to 2016. The antibiotic consumption was evaluated and given as the assumed defined daily dose [DDD] per 100 days of covering per year. Results: A total of 4,800 bacterial isolates were included (skin, mucous membrane and wounds 87%, urine 9.5%, blood 1.7%, tissue and tissue fluids 1.6%). The proportion of Gram-positive bacteria was 58% ( Conclusion: In view of the frequency of bacterial soft tissue infections and their need for inpatient treatment with mostly empirically chosen antibiotics, systematic microbiological surveillance should be recommended for dermatological inpatient wards.
