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

Antibiotic resistance poses a grave global public health threat, exacerbated by widespread and often inappropriate antibiotic usage. Vigilant surveillance of antibiotic utilization and emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is essential. Of particular concern in the era of AMR is the persistent issue of chronic wound infections. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of wound isolates from chronic wounds at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) in Kenya, to identify relevant bacteria and assess their drug resistance patterns.Wound samples were collected and processed using standard microbiological methods. Bacterial isolates were identified and assessed for their susceptibility to a panel of antibiotics using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. A total of 103 bacterial isolates were obtained from the wound samples, with a higher prevalence in male patients (59%).
