Epidemiological Profile of Bacterial Infections in Burn Patients Over a Five-Year Period.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionBurn patients are highly susceptible to bacterial infections, which significantly increase morbidity and mortality. Destruction of skin barriers following burns creates an ideal environment for tissue colonization by pathogenic microorganisms.
objectivesThe aim of our study is to establish the epidemiological profile of bacterial infections in burn patients hospitalized in the Burns and Plastic Surgery Department of the Mohamed V Military Teaching Hospital (HMIMV) in Rabat and to describe their sensitivity to antibiotics. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study spanned five years, from October 1, 2017, to December 31, 2022. During this period, a total of 548 samples were obtained, of which 366 (66.78%) were positive, corresponding to isolates of 39 non-redundant bacterial strains identified in 188 patient samples. Among these patients, 123 (65.42%) were males and 65 (34.22%) were females, yielding a sex ratio of 1.89. The mean age of the patients was 47.1 years, with an age range of 9 to 89 years. Microbiological and demographic data were collected for analysis. Bacterial isolates were identified using conventional bacteriological methods, and their antibiotic susceptibility was tested according to EUCAST 2019 guidelines.
resultsOf 548 samples, 406 (74.08%) skin burns, 74 (13.5%) blood cultures, 29 (5.29%) urine samples, and 27 (4.92%) central catheter samples were analyzed. Among the gram-negative, non-fermenting bacilli (GNB) bacilli,
