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

Objectives: This study was designed to assess the bacterial profile and their phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance pattern in samples from a level I trauma center in India. Methods: A total of 387 samples were collected from surfaces, equipment, water, and hand swabs of intensive care units (ICUs), wards, and other hospital locations between May 2021 and July 2022 and analyzed for bacterial identification (MALDI-TOF), antimicrobial susceptibility (Vitek2), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL and AmpC), and carbapenemase genes. Results: The majority of isolates (91.5%) were Gram-negative; 44.1% of Gram-negative isolates were either multidrug-resistant (MDR) or extensively drug-resistant (XDR), with MDR being most common in Conclusions: This study provides baseline data on antimicrobial resistance within the hospital and underlines the role of ICUs and equipment in cross-contamination, which can be used to devise evidence-based infection control practices.
