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

objectiveThis study aimed to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns of METHODOLOGY: This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Central India between June 2024 and September 2025. A total of 270 non-duplicate clinical samples from patients with diabetic foot ulcers were processed using standard microbiological techniques. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Phenotypic detection of ESBL and MBL production was performed using disc-based methods, while genotypic detection of resistance genes was performed by PCR.

resultsOf the 270 samples analyzed, 227 (84.07%) showed A. baumanii bacterial growth. The majority of patients were male, with a mean age of 56 years.

conclusionThis study demonstrates a high prevalence of multidrug-resistant
