The Most Common Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria Associated with Hospital Infections, in Urmia, Iran.

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.
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
Background & Objective: Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a major healthcare problem in hospitalized patients, especially in developing countries, where they affect millions of patients and cause high mortality rates. This study aimed to investigate multidrug-resistant bacterial strains in NIs at Imam Khomeini University Hospital in Urmia, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sampling method. The study population comprised all positive clinical samples from HAIs registered in the laboratory of Imam Khomeini Hospital, Urmia, Iran, in 2019. Bacteria were identified by culturing the samples on blood agar and MacConkey agar, followed by performing standard biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out using the disk diffusion method, in accordance with CLSI guidelines. Results: Of the 607 positive samples, the most common microorganisms isolated were Conclusion: This study highlights the critical issue of HAIs and the prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria in Urmia, Iran. Urgent measures, including improved hygiene, accurate diagnostics, appropriate antibiotic use, and stakeholder education, are essential. Establishing a robust HAI surveillance system is also recommended. Future efforts should aim at understanding and mitigating the spread of these pathogens.
