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: Increasing use and abuse of antibiotics has led to a rise in multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO) isolates among infected diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and is seen in more than half of all diabetic foot infection cases. This study aimed to identify risk factors for MDRO infection since there are no Filipino studies currently available to establish an association. Methodology: A cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted to evaluate risk factors for MDRO in DFUs. Adult patients admitted in a tertiary hospital from January 2019 - December 2023 for DFU were included in the study. Based on retrospective chart review, patients with DFU described to be infected with accompanying superficial or deep wound cultures were studied. Patients were classified under the MDRO-positive group if their cultures reported any of the following organisms: methicillin-resistant Results: One hundred fifty-one (151) patients were included in the study and 52 (34.43%) patient had MDRO isolates. The most common isolates seen were Conclusion: There is a high burden of multidrug resistant organism infection in diabetic foot ulcers with significant association in higher ulcer grades. A previous admission for diabetic foot ulcer significantly increases the odds for MDRO infection in succeeding diabetic foot infections.
