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

purposeHealthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Moreover, the burden of HAIs is higher in ICU admitted patients. Long term studies are beneficial to evolution pattern of AMR. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the evolution of AMR pattern over the years in one of the ICUs of a level 1 Trauma Center. This will enable us to modify the prescribing practices according to emerging resistance patterns.

methodsThis study was conducted at one of the ICU of level-1 trauma center of tertiary care hospital. The study reports the findings of the AMR surveillance from January 2012 to December 2019. Standard definitions were used to define HAI (www.hais.com). The clinical records of the patients were maintained using ASHAIN indigenous software. Outbreak analysis was done by WHONET.

resultsFrom 1st January 2012-31st December 2019, 4305 isolates were obtained from 1969 patients. Most frequent occurring organism were gram negatives among which A. baumannii was common followed by K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa. Retrospective analysis showed 7 outbreaks/clusters during the study period and all the outbreaks occurred from October to December in each year. The increasing trend of AMR pattern emphasizes to strengthen infection control practices and sustained AMR surveillance.
