Current Trends in Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns in Bacterial Pathogens among Adult and Pediatric Patients in the Intensive Care Unit in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Kolkata, India.

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
Nosocomial infections by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are among the main causes of morbidity and death in patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide. Antibiotic resistance has become a major concern for treating the patients with nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to describe the antibiotic resistance patterns of pathogens causing infections in adult and pediatric patients in the ICUs of a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata, India. A cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted from January 2022 to October 2022 on a total of 139 adult and 146 pediatric patients. Depending on clinical symptoms of the patients, samples were collected and subjected to antibiotic sensitivity testing. The culture and sensitivity pattern of clinical isolates from blood, urine, sputum, endotracheal tube (ET) aspirate, and central line catheter insertion site swabs were analyzed. A total of 695 and 556 specimens were obtained from adult and pediatric ICU, respectively. Culture positivity rate among adults and pediatric patients were 37% and 40%, respectively. The most commonly isolated organisms were Gram-negative Enterobacterales and non-fermenters. Most of the bacterial isolates showed very high resistance against multiple antibiotics.
