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

Aim: This study aims to analyze the incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) retrospectively and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) infections, characteristics of patients with these infections, causative microorganisms, and mortality rates in a tertiary respiratory intensive care unit (ICU). Material and Method: Between 01.01.2022 and 31.12.2023, the data of patients treated in the third-level respiratory ICU were analyzed retrospectively. Adult patients over 18 years of age with MDR and XDR infections were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, age, gender, comorbid systemic diseases, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, mechanical ventilation support status, duration of ICU stay and prognosis of the patients were analyzed and recorded through the hospital information management system. Results: The study included 261 patients. Of these patients, 184 (70.5%) were male, 77 (29.5%) were female, and their ages were 65.54 ± 14.43 years. The majority of the patients had chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, coronary artery disease, malignancy, and diabetes mellitus. There was no statistically significant difference between the resistance status of Conclusion: Early detection and close monitoring of MDR, XDR, and PDR bacterial strains are vital to combat antimicrobial resistance. This study shows that MDR and XDR infections are a major health problem in ICUs and that these infections have significant negative effects on patient prognosis.
