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 and objectives: Multidrug-resistant Methods: A total of 107 isolates were obtained from patient samples, including wound swabs/pus (65 isolates, 60.7%), blood cultures (16 isolates, 15%), urine/urinary catheter (8 isolates, 7.5%) and other sources. Species identification was performed using MALDI-TOF, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the VITEK Results: Among the 107 isolates, 63 (59%) were identified as MRSA, with 58 (92%) carrying the Conclusions: This study highlights the significant burden of MRSA in Nigeria, with the high-risk Bengal Bay MRSA clone as the most common strain. The widespread resistance to non-β-lactam antibiotics underscores the urgent need for enhanced surveillance, infection control and antibiotic stewardship to mitigate its spread.
