War impact on antimicrobial resistance and bacteriological profile of wound infections in Ukraine.
Article in Communications medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundInfections and antimicrobial resistance are among the main public health issues in the countries affected by war. This study evaluates war's impact on wound microbiome and antimicrobial resistance distribution among patients treated in Ukrainian civilian hospitals.
methodsThe patients with combat wounds were treated in the civilian hospitals located in the Northeast of Ukraine from January to April 2024. The wound samples were examined. The isolated microorganisms were identified with further investigation of antimicrobial resistance profiles.
resultsHere we show the data obtained from the examination of seventy-three wounded soldiers. Wound infections are associated with severe trauma and the middle age of patients. Bacteria were isolated in 56.16% samples with a predominance of gram-negative bacilli. The most frequent isolates are A. baumannii (36%), E. faecalis (12%), and B. cereus (12%). The frequency of multidrug resistance is 84.6%. Each isolated species has a certain sensitivity profile to antibiotics. The number of multidrug-resistant strains among gram-negative bacteria is higher than among gram-positive ones.
conclusionsThis study shows the dominance of gram-negative bacilli in military personnel with a higher frequency of multidrug-resistant isolates. These complicate the healing process and promote the spread of multidrug-resistant strains within healthcare settings.
