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.
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
Purpose: Global MDRO risk prediction tools are less applicable in UAE due to the variety in health profiles across all health sectors. Tools built using risk factors based on demographic structure of the country are more clinically applicable. This pilot retrospective case-control study aimed to identify potential risk factors associated with MDRO infections among critically ill patients in a UAE tertiary hospital and to assess the feasibility of conducting a larger-scale study for the future development of an empirical antibiotic selection tool. Patients and Methods: Data were collected from a tertiary care academic hospital in Sharjah. Patients admitted to the ICU for more than 24 hours for a hospital-acquired infection between March to May 2022 were included. A total of 39 patients profiles were screened through random sampling. Potential risk factors for MDRO infections were identified. Student's Results: Collected patient profiles were divided into three groups: MDRO (n = 11), Non-MDRO (n = 10), and no-growth (n = 18). Preliminary risk factors, such as history of bacterial growth was identified to put patients at 2.83 folds of risk of getting MDRO infection ( Conclusion: This study provides preliminary insights into potential risk factors for MDRO infections in ICU of UAE population, such as the need for tube feeding and tracheostomy. The study successfully demonstrated the feasibility of data collection and stratification of patients. The observed trends support the need for a larger, adequately powered study to validate these risk factors and to facilitate the development of a predictive risk assessment tool.
