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

Background: The limited alternatives for managing vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) have caused concern in the global community for severe infectious diseases. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine the magnitude of VRE colonization and associated factors among people living with HIV at Hiwot Fana Comprehensives Specialized University Hospital, Eastern Ethiopia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 260 patients on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) who attended the ART clinic from 10 April to 10 May 2022. A structured questionnaire was used to gather information. The stool sample was collected and processed by standard microbiological techniques. The Bile Esculin Azide Agar and blood agar were used to isolate Result: Out of the 260 participants, colonization of Conclusion: VRE must be regularly monitored for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and surveillance to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance.
