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

Background: The use of silver is rapidly rising in wound care and silver-containing dressings are widely used along with other antibiotics, particularly β-lactams. Consequently, concerns are being raised regarding the emergence of silver-resistance and cross-resistance to β-lactams. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the phenotypic and genotypic profiles of silver-resistance and extended-spectrum β-lactamases in isolates from chronic wounds. Methods: 317 wound swab specimens were collected from tertiary hospitals of Dhaka city and analysed for the microbial identification. The antibiotic resistance/susceptibility profiles were determined and phenotypes of silver resistant isolates were examined. The presence of silver-resistance ( Results: A total of 501 strains were isolated with Conclusions: Notably, this is the first-time detection of silver-resistance along with its co-detection with ESBLs in Bangladesh. This research highlights the need for selecting appropriate treatment strategies and developing new alternative therapies to minimize microbial infection in wounds.
