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

backgroundAntimicrobial resistance is a focus of global interest in the treatment of wound infections. The growing antimicrobial resistance, particularly in burn wound infections, poses a serious challenge, highlighting the need to understand pathogen distribution and drug susceptibility patterns.

objectivesThis study aimed to identify the pathogens responsible for burn wound infections and determine their drug susceptibility pattern. This study was conducted from September 2018 to January 2020 and included 163 patients.

resultA total of 164 microorganisms were isolated from 129 burn wounds, yielding an isolation rate of 78.65%. A solitary agent was isolated in 80 (62.02%), whereas a mixed infection was detected in 49 (37.98%) patients. The most common microorganisms detected were Gram-negative bacteria (102 isolates, 62.19%), with

conclusionThe findings provide valuable insight into the prevalence of microorganisms in burn wounds and suggest that antibiotic resistance patterns can be useful in guiding the development of effective treatment strategies.
