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

introductionβ-lactam and fluoroquinolone antibiotics are usually used for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) and extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in MATERIALS AND

methodsTwo hundred and nineteen samples of

resultsThe rate of resistance to moxifloxacin, nalidixic acid, gatifloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin in ESBL-producing isolates was 89.3%, 88%, 84%, 80%, 78.7%, and 73.3%, respectively. PMQR-producing

conclusionHigh resistance rates were detected to quinolones among ESBL-producing isolates from UTIs. There is a high prevalence of PMQR genes in
