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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the infection and antimicrobial resistance of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis in patients with genitourinary symptoms among Hakka population in Meizhou, China.

methodsA total of 12 633 females and 3315 males who presented urogenital symptoms and were subjected to mycoplasma tests from 2014 to 2018 were enrolled in this study. The mycoplasma detection and antimicrobial susceptibility were tested using the Mycoplasma ID/AST kit.

resultsThe total incidence of mycoplasma infection, as well as the incidence of U urealyticum in Hakka population was annually increasing from 2014 to 2018. The total incidences and U urealyticum infection were more prevalent in females than males. Higher positive rate of mycoplasmas infection was observed in women aged 16-20 (50.9%) and men aged 26-30 (25.4%). The occurrence of antimicrobial resistance of mycoplasma to antibacterial agents remained relatively similar in the past five years. Ureaplasma urealyticum infection, M hominis infection, and co-infection of resistance to levofloxacin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, roxithromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, and sparfloxacin were dramatically higher in females than in males.

conclusionOur findings indicate a high burden of mycoplasmas infection and antimicrobial resistance of mycoplasmas infection among females, and josamycin and minocycline may be recommended as the primary choice in clinical treatment of anti-mycoplasmas.
