Microbiological Profile and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Endotracheal Aspirates in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 Antimicrobial resistance among Gram-negative bacilli has emerged as a major challenge in hospitalized patients, particularly in respiratory infections associated with prolonged hospitalization and invasive airway devices. Continuous surveillance of respiratory isolates and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns is essential for guiding empirical therapy and strengthening antimicrobial stewardship practices. Objective This study aimed to determine the bacterial profile, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and multidrug resistance prevalence among clinical endotracheal aspirate isolates. Methods This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology of a tertiary care hospital. Endotracheal aspirate samples received during the study period were processed using standard microbiological techniques. Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates were performed using the VITEK automated system (bioMérieux, Marcy-l'Étoile, France), and results were interpreted according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Resistance phenotypes including extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-associated resistance patterns and carbapenem non-susceptibility among
