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
The burn patient is at high hazard for nosocomial infections (NI) as a result of the nature of the burn damage itself, the immune-compromising impacts of burns, prolonged clinic stays, and intensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study is to describe the actual epidemiology of burn wound colonization and infection in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Service of Burns and Plastic Surgery at the University Hospital Center in Tirana, Albania. The study is retrospective clinical and analytical. Microbiology data, total body surface area (TBSA), patient days (LOS) and mortality were collected from a hospital database for all patients admitted to the ICU of the Service of Burns at the UHC in Tirana, Albania in 2020. The burn wound infection prevalence rate was greater than in 2010 (17.2 vs. 12 infections per 100 patients), while the burn wound colonization prevalence rate was reduced by half (20.6 vs. 44 colonized patients for 100 patients). The burn wound infection incidence rate was increased (47 vs. 42.6 infections per 1000 hospitalization days) and also the attack rate was increased (0.7 vs. 0.5 infections for 100 patients in 2010). The main pathogens were gram-positive bacteria (60 strains; 71%), followed by Gram-negative bacteria (22 strains; 26%), and fungi (3 strains; 3%). The predominant five bacteria were
