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

Carriers and diseases caused by Staphylococci, one of the important hospital pathogens, are an important problem in the emergence of antibiotic resistance and finding effective treatments. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in hematological and biochemical parameters and the development of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus infections in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU). The study included the 1st and 5th day data of 100 patients who had been hospitalized in the adult ICU for at least 5 days. Demographic data, blood and biochemical parameters and culture samples of the patients were evaluated. The higher NLR, CRP, LAC, and WBC values and lower HGB values observed on the 5th day compared to the 1st day suggest that patients in the ICU were likely exposed to hospital-acquired Staphylococcus infections, which adversely affected their prognosis. Indeed, the 31 Staphylococcus strains identified were isolated from blood (18), sputum (6), wound (4), urine (0), stool (0) and, catheter (3) cultures. It was determined that the most isolated strains, S. aureus, were resistant to levofloxacin, erythomycin, tetracycline, nitroforantoin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, oxacillin MIC, clindamycin, fusidic acid and oxsf. Based on our results, the observed increase in hematological and biochemical values on day 5 relative to day 1 reinforces the probability of hospital-acquired infection. Since this situation will put the life of the patient and the individuals related to the patient at risk, monitoring these values, early diagnosis and initiation of treatment are vital.
