Prevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns of Non-fermenting Gram-Negative Bacteria Causing Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 AND
objectivesLower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) increase the morbidity and hospital bed occupancy. Cases of LRTI due to non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) are common in healthcare institutions. The common NFGNB found nowadays are
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted at Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Bhubaneswar, India. We analyzed data of the patients admitted between June 2023 and May 2025. We included female and male adult patients admitted to KIMS with LRTI during the study period. The specimens of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and endotracheal tube (ET) aspirate obtained from the qualified subjects were examined. Pathogenic bacteria were cultivated using enriched and selective media, such as 5% sheep blood agar and MacConkey agar. To identify isolates and evaluate AST, the VITEK 2 system (bioMérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) was employed. To analyze the data, we used R software (version 4.4.3; R Development Core Team, Vienna, Austria).
resultsOur hospital admitted 2,389 patients with LRTI during the research period. Of them, 757 (31.69%) patients had a positive culture result for NFGNB, and 362 (47.82%) participants were female. The study population's median age was 44.79 (38.11-66.43) years. We found three non-fermenters:
