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

Objectives: To describe the prevalence of antibacterial resistance among hospitalized patients in Tigray. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was applied in hospitalized septic medical patients in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from March 2020 to January 2021. Socio-demographic, clinical, and laboratory-related data was collected, and descriptive analysis was done to present the result. Results: In this study, a total of 153 hospitalized septic patients were included with a median age of 30 years (interquartile range 22-49). A total of 187 different samples were collected from 153 participants of the blood and foci of infection, and bacterial isolates were found in 103 (55%) samples. A total of 70 (45.6%) septic patients showed antibacterial resistance at least to one antibiotic. The most common isolates were Conclusions: This study revealed a significant problem of antibacterial resistance in the referral hospital. The most commonly prescribed and affordable antibiotics were found to be resistant. So, the hospital and the country as well are expected to minimize the magnitude of the problem through different antimicrobial resistance strategic stewardship initiatives.
