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
Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of bacterial infections and identify the factors associated with death related to these infections in the internal medicine (Brévié) and infectious diseases departments (Boufflers) of Dakar Principal Hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out from January 1 to December 31, 2023, including patients with bacterial infections hospitalized in Boufflers and Brévié. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with death. Results: Out of 1,085 hospitalized patients, 181 (16.7%) had bacterial infections. The mean age was 60±18 years, with a sex ratio of 1.08. Urinary tract infection (37%) was the most represented clinical presentation. Bacteria were isolated in 123 patients (68%), with Conclusions: This study showed a high prevalence and mortality rate of bacterial infections in the internal medicine and infectious diseases departments, particularly among older adult patients, those with a history of hospitalization, or those with low hemoglobin levels.
