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

backgroundMATERIAL AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology for a period of one year (November 2022 to November 2023). In total, 118 clinical specimens were processed for identification and antimicrobial sensitivity testing using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion technique, following the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines.

resultOut of the 118 clinical samples, urine samples yielded the highest number of isolates (50%), followed by the pus samples (28.81%). Male patients accounted for 67.8% of the isolates, and female patients 32.2%. The highest prevalence was observed in the 41-60 age group, representing 33.90% of the cases. Eighty-seven percent of the isolates were from the inpatient department. In total, 28.86% of the isolates came from the surgery ward.
