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

The prevalence of MDR, XDR and PDR gram-negative bacteria, drug resistance and sensitivity patterns in the intensive care unit of the tertiary care hospital Amalapuram from June 2023 to July 2024 is of interest. The study included all patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit and various clinical samples like blood, urine, respiratory samples, body fluids and pus received in the lab were inoculated on different media like Mac-Conkey agar and blood agar according to Standard Microbiological methods. Bacterial identification was done based on colony morphology, Gram stain and various biochemical reactions after obtaining pure growth. Gram-negative bacteria were identified using a series of biochemical tests, like oxidase, catalase, indole production, methyl red, V-P, citrate, urease and triple sugar iron agar tests. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines. We found a high frequency of antibiotic resistance in ICU isolates, primarily caused by
