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

Background Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the most life-threatening infections associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis with appropriate and timely treatment improves the patient outcome. The recent surge in multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains is a matter of concern. This study aims to determine the bacterial etiology and antibiotic sensitivity pattern in BSI among different age groups. Materials and methods The microbiological data of blood culture and sensitivity between April 2019 and April 2021 were extracted from the laboratory records and analyzed for the bacterial profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Results Out of the total 3893 blood cultures received during the study period from April 2019 to April 2021, 194 pathogens were isolated, accounting for a prevalence of 4.98%. Among 194 patients with culture-proven BSI, 54.12% (105/194) were adults, and 45.87% (89/194) were children. Of these 194 bacterial isolates, 58.76% (114/194) were gram-negative bacteria, and 41.24% (80/194) were gram-positive bacteria. With regard to the bacteria isolated,
