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

Nosocomial wound infections are a dreaded complication in patients with burns. However, access to the necessary microbiological diagnostics is impaired in low-resource settings. This prospective observational cohort study aimed to describe the bacterial pathogens, resistance profiles and clinical outcomes of patients with wound infections admitted to the largest specialized unit for burns and plastic surgery in Uganda. Blood and wound swab cultures were taken for bacterial species identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. A total of 140 patients (female:
