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

Skin microbiota plays a crucial role in host defense. Disruptions in this balance can lead to systemic infections. Colonization by pathogenic microorganisms significantly increases the risk of symptomatic infections, prolongs hospital stays and increases healthcare costs. In Romania, the widespread misuse of antibiotics in the community further complicates the management of bacterial resistance, emphasizing the need for proactive measures. Our institution implemented a comprehensive multi-body-site colonization screening protocol starting from January 2024 until June 2024. The screening targeted high-risk patients, including those in ICUs, Oncology, and Hematology Clinics, and individuals with prior hospitalizations, antibiotic use, or medical devices. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of colonization by multidrug-resistant organisms upon hospital admission and assess the changes in colonization rates during hospitalization. Samples from nasal, axillary, inguinal, and rectal swabs were processed on specialized chromogenic media to detect multidrug-resistant organisms such as methicillin-resistant
