Group A Streptococcal Bacteremia: Ten Years' Experience from a Tertiary Care Center in South India.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Bacteremia is an uncommon complication of group A streptococcal (GAS) infections. The data on GAS bacteremia is scarce from developing nations such as India. Patients and methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with GAS bacteremia in a tertiary care hospital in Kerala, India over a 10-year period (2012-2021) by review of the electronic medical records (EMRs). Results: A total of 58 cases of GAS bacteremia were identified in the study period. Skin/soft tissue infection was the most common source of bacteremia. A total of 34.4% of the patients required ICU admission and the in-hospital mortality was 22.4%. All the GAS isolates were sensitive to penicillin, ampicillin, and ceftriaxone. Erythromycin and clindamycin resistance was seen in 39.7% and 24.1% isolates, respectively. Conclusion: This study shows that despite advancement in medical sciences, GAS bacteremia remains as a disease with high morbidity and mortality. A higher rate of clindamycin resistance was observed compared to previous Indian studies. How to cite this article: Jayakumar JS, Niyas VKM, Arjun R.
