Influence of COVID-19 pandemic on the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens in patients with bloodstream infection.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) significantly impacted healthcare systems worldwide, especially improving awareness of infection prevention and control in medical institutions. However, it remains unclear to what extent COVID-19 influenced the occurrence of bloodstream infection (BSI). This study aimed to analyze the distribution and antibiotic resistance patterns of pathogens responsible for BSI before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in a tertiary hospital. Methods: Pathogens from patients with BSI were collected from January 2018 to December 2022. Pathogen identification was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted using broth microdilution, the Kirby-Bauer (K-B) disk diffusion method, and Etest. Data were analyzed using WHONET and SPSS software. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Research Committee of the hospital (2023-11-C026). Results: Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the blood culture submission rate decreased from 12.82 to 11.07%, while the standardized blood culture positivity rate increased from 0.53 to 0.62%. Among the identified pathogens, Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 67.90%, Gram-positive bacteria for 28.82%, and fungi for 3.28%. The most frequently isolated pathogens were Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogens in patients with BSI. Notably, the prevalence of ESBL-producing
