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: With the rise of anaerobic bacteremia and resistance to anaerobes for commonly used agents, the resistance patterns of many anaerobes have changed significantly among different geographic areas and medical facilities. This study investigated the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of anaerobic bacteremia for therapeutic optimization at the local level. Methods: This retrospective observational study included all positive blood cultures (BC) from 2020 to 2024. For patients with anaerobic bacteria originating from BCs, clinical and microbiological data were collected. Results: In total, 239 anaerobic strains were isolated from 223 patients. Among BC-positive bacteria, the proportion of anaerobes accounted for 4.4% (239/5450), with a gradual increase from 3.0% in 2020 to 6.1% in 2024. The most common anaerobes were Conclusion: The study presents valuable data for monitoring and improving anaerobic bacteremia treatment in Southern of China.
