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 Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased susceptibility to infection because of hyperglycemia-related immune dysfunction, vascular impairment, and associated comorbidities. Characterization of bacterial isolates and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns is essential for selecting appropriate empirical therapy and limiting antimicrobial resistance. Methodology This hospital-based, cross-sectional study included 150 adults with T2DM and culture-positive infections admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Bengaluru, India, between April 2023 and November 2024. Clinical and microbiological characteristics, HbA1c levels, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and in-hospital mortality were assessed. Bacterial identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) assessment were performed by the hospital microbiology laboratory as part of routine clinical care, with susceptibility results reported according to the applicable Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute criteria. Results Urinary tract infection was the most frequent infection, affecting 55/150 patients (36.67%).
