Urinary Tract Infection in Chronic Kidney Disease Population: A Clinical Observational Study.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a state of chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation weakens the body's immune response to infections. Hence, CKD patients are at an increased risk of infections. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common types of community-acquired infection. There is a paucity of data with respect to UTI in CKD patients. Hence, our objective was to study the clinical and microbiological profile of UTI in CKD patients. Materials and methods We studied 129 CKD patients at a tertiary care hospital in south India from January 2020 to June 2020. Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Urine samples were cultured aseptically. Only urine-culture positive samples were included in the study and antibiotic susceptibility was recorded. Results Males (76.2%) were most commonly infected. 94% were gram-negative bacteria, 3% were gram-positive bacteria and 3% were Candida species. E. coli (61.8%) was the most common isolated microorganism. Resistance to quinolones was recorded among gram-negative bacteria. Resistance to penicillin and quinolones was noted among gram-positive bacteria. Candida species were sensitive to amphotericin B and fluconazole. Conclusion The results of the study help in formulating the empiric antibiotic policy to treat UTI in CKD patients and hence prevent inadvertent use of antibiotics and the emergence of antibiotic resistance.
