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
introductionPseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen, which causes healthcare-associated infections in immunosuppressed patients. They exhibit resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics via various mechanisms such as the over-expression of efflux pumps, decreased production of the outer membrane protein (D2 porin), over-expression of the chromosomally encoded AmpC cephalosporinase, modification of drugs, and mutation(s) at the target site of the drug. The bacteria also develop antibiotic resistance through the acquisition of resistance genes carried on mobile genetic elements. Limited data on phenotypic as well as genotypic characterization of MDR P. aeruginosa in Nepal infers the needs for this study. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence rate of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL-producer) as well as colistin resistant multidrug resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa in Nepal and also to detect MBL, colistin resistance, and efflux pump encoding genes i.e. bla METHODS/METHODOLOGY: A total of 36 clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected. All bacterial isolates were phenotypically screened for antibiotic susceptibility using Kirby Bauer Disc Diffusion method. All the multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa were phenotypically screened for MBL producer by Imipenem-EDTA combined disc diffusion test (CDDT). Similarly, MIC value for colistin was also determined by broth microdilution method. Genes encoding carbapenemase (bla
resultsAmong 36 P. aeruginosa, 50% were found to be MDR among which 66.7% were found to be MBL producer and 11.2% were found to be colistin resistant. Among MDR P. aeruginosa, 16.7%, 11.2% and 94.4% were found to be harbouring bla
