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

Chronic wounds represent a major complication of underlying conditions such as diabetes mellitus, arterial ischemia, surgical wound and burns. This study aimed at the phenotypic and molecular characterization of antimicrobial resistance for a selection of bacterial isolates, originating from wounds harvested from patients hospitalized in the Vascular Surgery and Plastic Surgery wards. The microbiological diagnosis of wound infections was established according to the laboratory's working protocol. PCR screening of antibiotic resistance genes was performed using a real-time PCR, while the microtiter plate assay was used to determine the biofilm-forming capacity. Testing of biofilm susceptibility to meropenem and amikacin was performed on Calgary biofilm device. Of the 88 bacterial isolates studied, 78.40% were Gram-negative bacilli (GNB)-
