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

Objective: To analyze the species distribution and in vitro susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria isolated from the lower respiratory tract of the patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and to provide guidance for the treatment of pulmonary infections in this kind of patients. Methods: The AECOPD patients with suspected lower respiratory tract sample infection from January 2015 to December 2024 were included. The data of species identification and in vitro drug susceptibility testing results of pathogenic bacteria isolated from the lower respiratory tract were retrospectively collected. The detection rate, species distribution, in vitro susceptibility of predominant species, and ratios of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria were compared among different sample types. Data were analyzed using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 26.0 software. Results: A total of 25253 lower respiratory tract samples from 3861 patients were included. The pathogen detection rates in sputum, aspirates and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids were 27.2% (6463/23722), 33.5% (135/403), and 48.9% (551/1128), respectively, with a statistically significant difference of detection rate ( Conclusion: Gram-negative bacteria were the predominant pathogenic bacteria detected from the low respiratory tract of AECOPD patients, with a low isolation rate of fastidious bacteria. Non-sputum samples exhibited a higher detection rate of MDR bacteria.
