Surgical Site Infections in a Tertiary Hospital in Egypt: Bacterial Isolates and Antibiotic Sensitivity Profiles.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) are among the most common and costly postoperative complications, significantly impacting patient recovery and healthcare systems. Their burden is especially pronounced in low- and middle-income countries due to limited resources and inconsistent infection control practices. Objective To investigate the prevalence, microbial aetiology, and antimicrobial resistance patterns of SSIs in Al-Azhar University Hospital, Assiut, Egypt. Methods A prospective surveillance study was conducted on 90 patients undergoing general, gynaecological, urological, orthopaedic, and neurosurgical procedures. Patients were monitored for up to 90 days postoperatively. Wound swabs were collected, cultured, and analysed using both conventional microbiological methods and the automated VITEK-2 system (bioMérieux, France). Antibiotic susceptibility was assessed via the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Basingstoke, UK) and VITEK-2. Results The most frequently isolated pathogen was
