An Analysis of Bacterial Infection Distribution in the Elderly, and Their Clinical and Laboratory Profiles: Aging and Bacterial Infection.
Article in Infectious diseases & clinical microbiology, 2025. 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
Objective: The increasing proportion of the elderly population necessitates the development of strategies for managing infections encountered by this group. We aimed to examine the distribution of bacterial infections, their clinical presentations, treatments used, and in-hospital mortality rates among elderly patients. Materials and Methods: We examined a cohort aged 65-79 (Group 1) and aged 80 and above (Group 2) with bacterial infections. Demographic characteristics, underlying conditions, clinical/laboratory findings, and mortality rates of the cases were compared. Results: The study included 177 patients, of which 44.6% were female, and the mean age was 76.0 ± 8.8 years. Group 2 included 36.7% of the study population with a higher incidence of sepsis and urinary system infections ( Conclusion: The increased rates of urinary tract infections and sepsis in individuals over 80 underscores the need for vigilant clinical oversight. Effectively managing underlying conditions can reduce the incidence of some infections in vulnerable groups.
