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 Salmonella causes enteric fever, a major public health issue in India. The emergence of drug-resistant strains is concerning. This study assessed the prevalence, seasonal distribution, and antibiogram of Salmonella from blood cultures at a tertiary care hospital in North India. Materials and methods This retrospective descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology at a tertiary care centre over 11 years. Blood samples received in the laboratory were processed using the BacT/ALERT system. Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed with VITEK 2 (bioMérieux, France).
