Relationship between COVID-19 and ICU-Acquired Bloodstream Infections Related to Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
A bloodstream infection (BSI) is a severe ICU-acquired infection. A growing proportion is caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB). COVID-19 was reported to be associated with a high rate of secondary infections. However, there is a lack of data on the relationship between COVID-19 and the incidence of MDRB ICU-acquired BSI. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between COVID-19 and ICU-acquired BSI related to MDRB. This retrospective study was conducted in a single-center ICU during a one-year period. All adult patients admitted for more than 48 h were included. The cumulative incidence of ICU-acquired BSI related to MDRB was estimated using the Kalbfleisch and Prentice method. The association of COVID-19 status with the risk of ICU-acquired BSI related to MDRB was assessed using cause-specific Cox's proportional hazard model. Among the 1320 patients included in the analysis, 497 (37.65%) had COVID-19. ICU-acquired BSI related to MDRB occurred in 50 patients (36 COVID patients (7%) and 14 non-COVID patients (1.6%)).
