A Change in Nosocomial Infections among Surgical ICU Patients in the COVID-19 Era and MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry-A Cross-Sectional 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
During the COVID-19 pandemic, changes occurred within the surgical patient population. An increase in the frequency of resistant Gram-negative bacteria has since been recorded worldwide. After the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, microbiological diagnostics in our institution was performed using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. With this study, we wanted to confirm whether it contributed to a greater number of pathogenic bacteria detected in surgical ICU patients. A total of 15,033 samples taken from 1781 surgical patients were compared during the period from 2016 to February 2020 and during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to February 2023. On patients' admission, pathogenic bacteria were mostly isolated from the respiratory system (43.1% and 44.9%), followed by urine cultures (18.4 vs. 15.4%) before and during the pandemic. After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in the frequency of isolation of
