Profile of Co-Infection Prevalence and Antibiotics Use among COVID-19 Patients.
Article in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Bacterial co-infection in COVID-19 patients significantly contributes to the worsening of the prognosis based on morbidity and mortality. Information on the co-infection profile in such patients could help to optimize treatment. The purpose of this study was to describe bacterial co-infections associated with microbiological, clinical, and laboratory data to reduce or avoid a secondary infection. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Sant'Anna and San Sebastiano Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021. Bacterial co-infection was detected in 14.3% of the COVID-19-positive patients. The laboratory findings on admission showed significant alterations in the median D-dimer, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and lactate dehydrogenase values compared to normal values. All inflammatory markers were significantly elevated. The most common pathogens isolated from blood cultures were
