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: This study aimed to identify isolates from colonization and assess the risk factors for bacterial colonization and the risk of death in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Constanţa County Infectious Diseases Hospital between September 2017 and September 2019. Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study in a single center that included all patients admitted to the ICU in Constanţa, Romania, who underwent bacteriological screening upon admission and 7 days after admission, between September 2017 and September 2019. In total, 253 patients were included in this study. The nasal exudate, pharyngeal exudate, and rectal swab samples were screened. Results: In this study, 253 patients were screened bacteriologically, of which 53 had bacterial colonization and 200 did not. Among the bacterial strains, Conclusions: Our study revealed an increased prevalence of Enterobacterales colonization in the ICU. Risk factors for acquiring bacterial colonization differed depending on the type of bacterial colonization, such as ESBL, carbapenemases, methicillin-resistant
