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 AND

objectivesThe susceptibility of burn patients to infections with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) is high. The aim of this study is to describe the local patterns of antimicrobial resistance in a Romanian burn unit and to identify risk factors associated with the acquisition of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) pathogens. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a one-year, observational, retrospective single-centre cohort study including all burn patients with at least one positive culture admitted to our unit during 2024. In order to identify the pathogens and perform antibiograms, we used routine microbiological diagnostic tests. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify XDR risk factors. We also compiled a cumulative antibiogram using the first non-duplicate isolate per patient, following the CLSI M39 guidelines.

resultsAmong the 180 total admissions, 128 (71.1%) had at least one positive microbiological culture, resulting in 643 bacterial isolates out of 559 samples. The most frequently identified species were

conclusionsOur findings highlight a significant percentage of MDR and XDR pathogens and provide the foundation for antimicrobial stewardship measures, using the local cumulative antibiogram for empirical therapy.
