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

The global increasing spread of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) is threatening the control of various infections in vulnerable populations and patient groups. One of the most affected groups is patients with burns, who are prone to hyperinfection as they suffer from a hypermetabolic state and weaken immune barriers. Those patients also share the infection risk of patients hospitalized for a long time, including ventilator-associated pneumonia and urinary tract infections. While some preventative and therapeutic management styles are still controversial, we discuss consensuses here. In this review, we aim to present the current knowledge on multidrug resistance with a special focus on patients with burns, discuss various causative organisms and their treatment options, and highlight the importance of antibiotic stewardship and teamwork in responding to an outbreak of MDROs.
