Resistance patterns of bacterial pathogens causing lower respiratory tract infections: Aleppo-Syria.

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
Globally, lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are one of the lead causes of death. Bacterial and susceptibility profiles are not constant over time and geographically, and different patient factors can be correlated with those infections. Objective: This study aimed to scan the bacterial spectrum causing LRTIs, their susceptibility profile and patient related risk factors. Material and methods: Two hundred sixty-eight specimens from LRTIs suspected patients attending University Hospital were collected. Specimens included bronchial washings, transtracheal aspiration samples and sputum. After appropriate culture and identification tests, susceptibility test was done using minimum inhibitory concentration method. Data were collected from patients for further analysis. Results: of total specimens, 150 showed positive culture results ( Conclusion: The leading cause of LRTIs in our study were
