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

Purpose: To describe the top three causative organisms of hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in Thailand. Patients and Methods: This multi-center retrospective cohort study included HAP/VAP patients hospitalized in 2019 in three university-affiliated hospitals and a private hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Medical records of patients with a documented diagnosis of nosocomial pneumonia (NP) were systematically reviewed to collect data on demographic, clinical, microbiological, and 30-day readmission due to NP. Results: A total of 240 patients were included in the study, comprises patients with VAP (62.9%), HAP (36.7%), and ventilated HAP (vHAP) (0.4%). All of the patients had late-onset NP, occurring after five days of hospitalization with median time to NP of 13 days (interquartile range [IQR] 6-25 days) from admission. The top three causative pathogens of NP were Conclusion:
