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
Objectives: The main aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of patients attended in our area with Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional and observational study was conducted between June 2022 and June 2023 to compare the clinical cure and/or recurrence of CDI in adult patients treated in a Spanish secondary Hospital depending on the prescribed antibiotic treatment. In addition, we performed an antimicrobial susceptibility study to vancomycin and metronidazole in all Results: Out of 194 selected patients the treatments were as follow: 43.81 % vancomycin, 21.65 % metronidazole, 8.25 % a combination of both, 6.70 % fidaxomicin and 19.59 % were untreated. Vancomycin and fidaxomicin patients had higher odds ratio of prolonged hospitalization ( Conclusion: Fidaxomicin treated patients had statistically increased odds of rCDI. Compared to other treatments, fidaxomicin was inferior to metronidazole for rCDI in our cohort;Hypervirulent
