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

Background: Burn wound infections (BWIs) represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized burn patients. Objective: This study investigated the association between biofilm formation and multidrug resistance among Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Republic Hospital, Sana'a City, Yemen, from October 2023 to December 2024. A total of 424 burn wound samples were collected and processed using standard microbiological techniques. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines (CLSI, 2022). Biofilm production was assessed by the microtiter plate method, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect biofilm-associated genes (algD, pslD, and pelF). Statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0, with Results: Of 424 burn wound samples, Conclusion:
