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: To identify and know the antimicrobial sensitivities of the aerobic bacteria in patients with acute otitis externa (AOE). Materials and Methods: Sixty-six patients of acute otitis externa were prospectively analysed at a tertiary care centre in North-India from May 2021 to April 2022. Samples for culture and sensitivity were sent to the microbiology department and the results analysed. Results: A total of 50 samples yielded positive results for bacterial cultures. The gram-negative isolates were 60%, and the gram-positive were 40%. Conclusion: Causes of bacterial diversity and their varied anti-microbial sensitivities and increasing antimicrobial resistance due to inadvertent use of antibiotics over time has caused change in susceptibility of bacteria. It therefore becomes essential to periodically assess the microbiological flora so as to provide quality and cost-effective treatment to the patient population presenting with AOE.
