Prevalence of bacterial infections, antimicrobial sensitivity, and resistance patterns in respiratory samples.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveRespiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a significant global health concern, particularly with the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of bacterial pathogens, resistance patterns, and gender-specific differences among patients with RTIs admitted to a tertiary-level hospital in South Punjab, Pakistan.
methodsThe retrospective study, which lasted from September 2023 to February 2024, included 194 patients with bacterial RTIs. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, and bacterial isolates were analyzed. The antibiotic susceptibility of 194 bacterial isolates was assessed using the disc diffusion method. Bacteria were classified as extensively drug-resistant (XDR), multidrug-resistant (MDR), or pan-drug-resistant (PDR) based on standard criteria. The impact of bacterial resistance on mortality and ICU admissions was examined using multivariate Cox regression analysis.
resultsThe study cohort had a mean age of 66.5 ± 10.8 years, with 76.4% being male. ICU admissions were higher among males (25%) than females (9%).
conclusionThe study underscores the growing burden of antimicrobial resistance in RTIs, with significant gender-based disparities. The high prevalence of MDR bacteria highlights the urgent need for targeted antibiotic stewardship programs and infection control measures to mitigate the impact of drug-resistant respiratory infections.
