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

Introduction: Carbapenems are last-resort antibiotics and are considered the drugs of choice for infections caused by multi-drug-resistant bacteria. During the last several years, there has been an alarming global increase in the detection and spread of Carbapenem-resistant organisms among gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to determine Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacterial infections. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. Ethical approval was granted by the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: CMC-IRC/080/081-071). A total of 3149 non-repeated, different clinical specimens were collected, from November 2023 to February 2024, processed aseptically under the standard protocol of the American Society for Microbiology, and screened according to the Antibiotic sensitivity pattern. The analysis of the results was performed using Microsoft Excel and manual calculations. Results: Out of 3149 samples, 361 had culture-positive. Among 361 isolates, 316 were Gram-negative bacteria, among the specimens, 83 (26.26%) were identified as Carbapenem-resistant gram negative bacteria. Within this group, Conclusions: Among Carbapenem-resistant Organisms,
