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

Urinary tract infection (UTI) represents the most common infection after kidney transplantation and remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant (KT) recipients, with a potential impact on graft survival. UTIs after KT are usually caused by Gram-negative microorganisms. Other pathogens which are uncommon in the general population should be considered in KT patients, especially BK virus since an early diagnosis is necessary to improve the prognosis. UTIs following kidney transplantation are classified into acute simple cystitis, acute pyelonephritis/complicated UTI, and recurrent UTI, due to their different clinical presentation, prognosis, and management. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) represents a frequent finding after kidney transplantation, but ASB is considered to be a separate entity apart from UTI since it is not necessarily a disease state. In fact, current guidelines do not recommend routine screening and treatment of ASB in KT patients, since a beneficial effect has not been shown. Harmful effects such as the development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and a higher incidence of
