Etiology, Microbiological Isolates, and Antibiotic Susceptibilities in Inpatients with Refractory Auricular Perichondritis: A 10-Year Retrospective Study.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to elucidate the etiologies, microbiological profiles, antibiotic susceptibilities of bacteria and outcomes of patients with auricular perichondritis. Patients and Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study. Inpatients diagnosed with auricular perichondritis at a university teaching hospital in eastern China between January 2013 and December 2022 were included in this study. Results: A total of 127 patients were enrolled, with an average age of 50.6 ± 16.9 years. In addition to cases in which the etiology remained undetermined in 37% of the patients, postoperative infection emerged as the predominant cause (37.8%), followed by trauma (18.1%). Among the 61 cultured isolates, 21.3% were gram-positive bacteria, 55.7% were gram-negative bacteria, and 23.0% were fungal isolates. The most frequent isolate was Conclusion: Auricular perichondritis predominantly originates from iatrogenic (postoperative) infections. Antibiotic therapy covering
