Article in African journal of infectious diseases, 2025. 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
Background: Bacteria or fungi in COVID-19 involves several mechanisms that can affect immune system and also can increase severity of symptoms. The incidence of bacterial or fungal infections is common in patients with viral respiratory tract infections. The aim of this study was to determine the microbial patterns and sensitivity tests of bacterial and fungal infection in COVID-19 patients at National Referral Hospital in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional design, where data was obtained from a 100 COVID-19 patients medical records, from December 2020 to April 2021. This study employed total sampling, those that fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: A total population of 100 COVID-19 patients were included, with bacterial infections in 26 patients (26%), fungi in 5 patients (5%), bacteria and fungi in 5 patients (5%). The most common bacterial pathogen was Conclusion: Bacterial and fungal infections can occur in COVID-19 patients, bacterial infection most commonly found in this study. The most sensitive antibiotic or anti-fungal is different for each bacterial or fungal found, and can be used as a basis for antibiotic selection for COVID-19 patients.
