Tracking Epidemiological Characteristics and Risk Factors of Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria in Intensive Care Units.

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
Objectives: Multi-drug resistance (MDR) emerged as a serious threat in intensive care unit (ICU) settings. Our study aimed to investigate the major pathogens in ICU and identify the risk factors for MDR infection. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to the ICU. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to identify the independent predictors, and then a nomogram to predict the probability of MDR infection. Results: A total of 278 patients with 483 positive cultures were included. 249 (51.55%) had at least one MDR pathogen, including extensively drug-resistant (XDR) 77 (30.92%) and pan drug-resistant (PDR) 39 (15.66%), respectively. Conclusion: The number of bacteria, multiple invasive procedures, LOS, and Hb were the independent predictors associated with MDR pathogens. Our nomogram is potentially useful for predicting the occurrence of MDR infection. Besides, we also identify XDR and TP as the independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality with MDR infection. The current prevalence of MDR strains was also described. The results will contribute to the identification and preventive management of patients at increased risk of infection.
