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: Objectives: To characterize antimicrobial susceptibility trends, we conducted a retrospective study of PA clinical isolates over 10 years (2013-2022) at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia. Results: A total of 2,490 PA isolates were analyzed (1,452 from general wards and 1,038 from ICUs). Carbapenem resistance was observed in 40% of isolates; 37.5% were multidrug-resistant (MDR), 5.3% were extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and 3.5% met the criteria for difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR). Conclusion: This study provides an overview of PA resistance pattern trends in Saudi Arabia and emphasizes the importance of establishing an antimicrobial stewardship program.
