Prevalence, associated factors, and antibiotic susceptibility of bacterial isolates in suspected ear infections at University of Gondar Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Science progress. 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
BackgroundEar infections affect millions worldwide, causing significant hearing loss, particularly in developing countries. Bacterial infections play a major role, necessitating studies on causative agents, risk factors, and antibiotic resistance.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the prevalence, associated factors, and antibiotic susceptibility of the bacterial isolates among patients in suspected ear infections at the University of Gondar Hospital, Ethiopia.MethodsA hospital-based prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2023, involving 303 participants with clinical diagnosis of having ear infections. Ear discharge samples were cultured on blood agar, chocolate agar, and MacConkey agar. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Cefoxitin disc and double-disc synergy tests detected methicillin-resistant
