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: Multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infections contribute to high mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, yet their specific pathogen profile and mortality risk factors are inadequately characterized. Objective: In this study, we aim to investigate MDRO infections in ICU patients, identify prevalent pathogens, and evaluate risk factors associated with 28-day mortality. Methods: A retrospective study of 260 ICU patients with MDRO infections (resistant to ≥3 antimicrobial classes) analyzed the specimen types, infection sites, and pathogens. Patients were grouped (survival group and non-survival group) based on 28-day survival outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression identified prognostic factors, and the model's validity, fit, and discriminatory power were assessed. Results: In ICU patients with MDRO infections, sputum was the most common test specimen, with the respiratory system as the main infection site. Pathogenic bacteria primarily included Conclusion: ICU patients with MDRO infections exhibit diverse pathogens. Prompt preventive and control measures should be implemented based on the characteristics of MDRO infections and high-risk factors associated with prognosis to reduce the risk of death following MDRO infections.
