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: Antimicrobial resistance to ESKAPE pathogens ( Objective: This study aimed to determine the ESKAPE antimicrobial resistance patterns and associated factors with multi-drug resistance strains among hospitalized patients in a single tertiary care medical hospital in Palestine. Methods: A single-center retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted by reviewing patients' electronic medical records and laboratory results from November 1, 2021, to November 30, 2022, at the Palestine Medical Complex in Palestine. The study included patients aged > 18 years who had been infected with ESKAPE pathogens 48 hours after hospital admission. Results: This study included 231 patients, of whom 90.5% had MDR infections. In total, 331 clinical samples of ESKAPE pathogens were identified. Conclusion: The findings of this study show alarming MDR among hospitalized patients infected with ESKAPE pathogens, with resistance to first-line antimicrobial agents and emerging resistance to colistin, minimizing treatment options. Healthcare providers and the Ministry of Health must take steps, adopt policies to prevent antimicrobial resistance, adhere to infection control guidelines, implement antimicrobial stewardship programs to prevent and limit the growing health crisis, and support research to discover new treatment options.
