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: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Methodology: A retrospective laboratory-based surveillance study was conducted using microbiology laboratory data. All culture-positive clinical specimens processed over the five years were included. Descriptive analysis was performed to assess pathogens' distribution, resistance rates, phenotypic resistance patterns, and temporal trends according to antibiotic categories. Results: A total of 3,778 culture-positive isolates were analyzed. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a high and increasing burden of multidrug-resistant ESKAPE pathogens, characterized by escalating resistance to first-line and second-line antibiotics and early indications of emerging resistance to last-resort antimicrobials. These findings highlight the urgent need to strengthen antimicrobial stewardship, infection prevention, and control measures.
