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: This study aims to determine the prevalence of secondary bacterial infections (SBIs) in hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) subjects and evaluate their antibiotic susceptibility. The study also sought to identify risk factors for the outcome of SBIs in COVID-19 subjects. Methods: This single-center cross-sectional retrospective study was carried out at Sohar Hospital in Oman. The study examined hospitalized COVID-19 subjects diagnosed with SBIs during March 2020-December 2022. The relevant subjects' data were extracted from hospital electronic health records and analyzed using STATA version 14. The Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was employed for analyzing categorical variables, and Results: The research encompassed a total of 817 bacteria recovered from various clinical samples of 421 subjects. The older individuals (39.4%) and men (65.6%) experienced bacterial infections more frequently, with bloodstream and respiratory infections being the most common. Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) were responsible for a higher proportion (85.6%) of infections, with Conclusions: SBI is common among COVID-19-hospitalized subjects. GNB were primarily linked to SBI. The severity and the likelihood of SBI increased in subjects undergoing medical interventions and immunosuppressive therapy.
