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: Surgical wound infections are a common healthcare-associated complication and are complicated by antimicrobial resistance, which limits empirical treatment options. Local pathogen and susceptibility data are needed to guide empirical therapy and stewardship in Azerbaijan. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the microbiological profile of surgical wound cultures and the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of recovered isolates in a tertiary hospital in Azerbaijan. Methods: A retrospective laboratory-based study was conducted from August to December 2024 using surgical wound culture records and susceptibility data. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disk diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration-based methods and interpreted according to European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing criteria. Findings: Out of 344 surgical wound culture records, 45 had no microbial growth and 299 were analysed. The most frequent micro-organisms were Conclusion: Surgical wound cultures were dominated by
