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

Introduction: Hemodialysis patients are at risk of infections. This study examines the spectrum of infections and antibiotic resistance patterns. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 586 hemodialysis patients from May 2018 to April 2020 in a tertiary care hospital in North India. Results: The study identified 99 episodes of confirmed infections. Urinary tract infections were the most common type of infections (55.5%), followed by catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) (definitive 21.2%). Other infections were pneumonia (8.1%), tuberculosis (6.1%), skin and soft tissue infection (4.0%), dengue fever (3.03%), and empyema thoracis (1.0%). Overall, Conclusion: Though the bacterial spectrum remains the same over time, antibiotic resistance is changing in uropathogens. There is a trend of predominance of Gram-negative bacterial infections in CRBSI. Tuberculosis incidence rate was much higher than the general population. There is a need for nationwide and worldwide continuous surveillance.
