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

backgroundWounds compromise the skin's protective barrier, providing a favorable environment for bacterial colonization and proliferation. The rising incidence of multidrug-resistant pathogens poses a major global healthcare challenge, hindering effective infection management.

aimTo identify bacterial pathogens associated with wound infections and assess their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 139 patients with clinically suspected wound infections. Wound swabs were collected and processed using standard microbiological techniques. Isolated bacteria were identified and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using the disc diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines.

resultsThe majority of patients (27.3%) were aged 26-35 years, with 46 (33.1%) males and 93 (66.9%) females. Of 139 specimens, 108 (77.7%) yielded positive cultures. The most frequently isolated organisms were Escherichia coli (20.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19.4%), Staphylococcus aureus (17.6%), and Citrobacter freundii (16.7%). A high level of resistance to commonly used antibiotics was observed among most isolates.

conclusionThis study highlights the high prevalence of bacterial wound infections in Al-Bayda Governorate, Yemen, and the alarming rates of antimicrobial resistance among the isolates. The observed resistance, particularly to first-line antibiotics, underscores the urgent need for robust antimicrobial stewardship programs to guide effective treatment strategies.
