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

objectiveThis study aimed to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) isolated from clinical samples in a tertiary care hospital in Niger.

designProspective, cross-sectional study.

settingThe study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital in Niger.

participantsAll clinical samples received at the bacteriology laboratory during the study period for diagnostic purposes were included.

resultsOut of 548 clinical Gram-negative isolates, 60 strains of NFGNB (10.94%) were isolated. These NFGNB strains were mainly isolated from male patients (62%, n=37) with a mean age of 41.2±27.3 years. NFGNB was more frequent in urine samples (91.7%), followed by pus (6.6%). Among the NFGNB strains isolated,

conclusionsOur study revealed a relatively high MDR-NFGNB prevalence rate in a Nigerien tertiary care hospital. These findings emphasise the need for vigilant antibiotic stewardship, with appropriate infection prevention and control practices to curb the emergence and spread of MDR-NFGNB infections in hospital settings.
