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: Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients are immunocompromised, making them more susceptible to infection. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of nosocomial infection among CRC patients at Prince Noora Oncology Centre in National Guard Health Affairs and to analyze the relationship between various pathogens and clinico-pathological characteristics of CRC. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out at PNOC from the period 2016 until 2024 and included CRC patients whose age was >18 and excluded others. Cancer patients' demographics, personal and family history, cancer characteristics, infection characteristics, and pathogens were collected from medical records. Results: A total of 377 patients with CRC were included, and 222 (58.9%) of them were males. The mean age was estimated to be 62.1 (SD13.4) years. About 235 (62.3%) of these patients were infected. The total number of detected pathogens was 690, of which 222 (32.2%) were Conclusion: Two-thirds of CRC patients developed nosocomial infections. Gram-negative bacteria like
