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

backgroundBloodstream infections (BSIs) are both a primary cause and a severe complication of hospitalization. This retrospective study aims to analyze the epidemiology of BSIs at the University Hospital of Palermo from 2018 to 2024.

methodsWe conducted a single-center, retrospective, observational study at the University Hospital Paolo Giaccone in Palermo, analyzing microbiological data from blood cultures collected between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2024.

resultsA total of 6345 blood culture isolates from 2967 patients were analyzed. Bacteremia-related mortality per 1000 patients rose from 5.1% in 2018 to 10.5% in 2024. The most isolated pathogens were non-

conclusionsWe observed an increasing trend in overall bacteremia-related mortality from 2018 to 2024. Microbiological data highlight the predominance of non-
