Antimicrobial susceptibility at intensive care units in Sudan, antibiogram development.
Article in BMC microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Antibiograms are statistics on bacterial spectrum and resistance rates. It is of importance to regularly monitor the trends in antimicrobial resistance within the institution through the periodic cumulative resistance to provide the effective empiric antibiotic selection, enhanced infection control interventions, and containment strategies. Antimicrobial stewardship interventions improve quality and quantity of prescribing antimicrobial in ICUs without compromising any patient outcomes. The aim of this study was to develop a local unit-specific antibiogram for the Intensive Care Units based on the susceptibility rates of antimicrobials. Facility- based cross sectional study was done among ICU patients of a Tertiary hospital, Khartoum. Data were collected from the record of microbiology Laboratory from August-2021 to September-2022. Results were presented as tables and figures, Chi- square test was used to assess associations between variables, results were statistically significant when p < 0.05. Gram negative bacteria comprised 32% of the samples and only 4% of the samples had Gram positive bacteria, the remaining samples had no growth. Klebsiella spp. were the most prevalent 14.4% (44/306). The lowest susceptibility to antimicrobials were documented for Acinetobacter spp. and Klebsiella spp. Regarding Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it was susceptible to Meropenem but resistant to Pip/Tazo and Aminoglycosides. Gram positive bacteria, all were susceptible to Vancomycin and low Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus prevalence was observed. The antibiogram revealed high prevalence of Gram negative bacteria with low antimicrobials-susceptibility; especially Klebsiella spp. Low prevalence was recorded for MRSA and the most prevalent Gram positive bacteria were E. faecalis. This antibiogram of ICU can provide a reference for all future ICU antibiograms which will give a clear picture of the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern among ICU patients.
