Antibiotic Resistance Pattern in Intensive Care Units in a Large Referral Hospital in Iran.

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
Background & Objective: Antibiotic resistance, especially in the form of multidrug-resistant (MDR), is a big problem, especially in intensive care units (ICUs). This study aimed to evaluate antibiotic resistance and MDR patterns among patients hospitalized in the ICUs in one of the large referral centers in Iran. Methods: The present study was conducted at Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran (a great referral hospital), which admits critically ill patients requiring ICU services. To determine the rate of positive cultures for resistant strains, the patient's blood specimens were sent to the laboratory of the hospital for inoculation on proper culture media within 2 hours of extraction. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done using the Bauer-Kirby disk diffusion method. Results: A total of 1,755 samples were collected from the patients to assess microbial strains and antibiotic resistance. The most common microbial strains detected in the cultures extracted from peripheral blood samples were Conclusion: In Iran's ICUs, a significantly high level of antibiotic resistance may be seen especially the MDR pattern, which indicates the need to change the pattern of prescribing and managing these drugs in ICU centers.
