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

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to global public health. In hospitals, infant mortality due to bacterial sepsis is associated with AMR. The epidemiology of AMR in Bolivia (a lower-middle-income country) has not been sufficiently discussed. The aim of this study was to analyze AMR patterns over 8 years at a pediatric hospital in patients with hospital-acquired bloodstream infections. Methods: This is a retrospective and analytical revision of AMR in bacteria isolated from blood cultures, performed between 2012 and 2019, in a pediatric hospital in Bolivia. Data analysis was conducted with Stata v14.0, and Fisher's exact tests were used to determine statistical significance. Results: Four hundred and fifty-five (7.2%) positive blood cultures were identified from 6315 blood culture reports between 2012 and 2019. Conclusions: In the present study, we report that isolated bacteria showed significant resistance to multiple drugs, and most demonstrated increased resistance over time. Worryingly,
