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

The COVID-19 pandemic may have influenced healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). We performed a retrospective study in the ICU of Ibn Tofail Hospital, Marrakech, Morocco from March to September 2022. Patients hospitalized for more than 48 h were included. HAIs were defined according to CDC criteria, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing followed EUCAST guidelines. Results were compared with pre-pandemic data from 2019. Of 187 admitted patients, 145 were eligible, and 38 developed an HAI (26.3 %). The most frequent infections were pneumonia (37 %), catheter-related infections (27.5 %), and urinary tract infections (16.1 %). Among 112 isolates, Gram-negative bacteria predominated (82.7 %), mainly
