Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of gram-positive pathogens in Lebanon: The need for surveillance and stewardship.

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
Background: Resistance in Gram-positive organisms, including methicillin-resistant Methods: A total of 2676 isolates were collected from urine, blood, respiratory specimens, and other infection sites. Bacterial identification was performed following WHO clinical bacteriology procedures, utilizing gram staining, catalase and coagulase tests, and biochemical assays. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) analysis, interpreted according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS® version 24, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: CoNS were the most prevalent (42.83 %), followed by Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the prevalence and resistance patterns of Gram-positive pathogens in a Lebanese hospital setting. The findings highlight the need for continuous surveillance and stringent antibiotic stewardship to combat antimicrobial resistance effectively.
