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
Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common bacterial infection after kidney transplantation (KT), leading to unfavorable clinical and allograft outcomes. Gram-negative uropathogenic bacteria are frequently encountered especially extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant (ESC-R) Enterobacterales (EB), causing UTI early after KT. Methods: A retrospective single transplant study was conducted between January 2016 and December 2019. We performed 1:1 nearest-neighbor propensity score matching without replacement using recipient age, recipient sex, induction, transplant year, human leukocyte antigen, cold ischemia time, and panel-reactive antibody before analyses. Cumulative incidence of ESC-R EB early (within 14 days after KT) UTI was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Risk factors for ESC-R EB early UTI were analyzed by a Cox proportional hazards model. Variables measured after transplantation were considered time-dependent covariates. Results: We included 620 KT recipients (37% women; mean age ± SD, 43 ± 11 years). Overall, 64% and 76% received deceased-donor allograft and induction therapy. Sixty-five (10%) and 555 (90%) received carbapenems and cefuroxime peri-transplant prophylaxis, respectively. Early UTI occurred in 183 (30%) patients, 52% caused by ESC-R EB. Propensity score matching produced 65 well-balanced pairs. During a 14-day follow-up, the cumulative incidence of ESC-R EB early UTI was 5 and 28% in the carbapenems and cefuroxime groups, respectively (log-rank test = 0.003). Peri-transplant carbapenems prophylaxis was a protective factor against ESC-R EB after KT (hazard ratio, 0.19; 95% confidence interval, 0.05-0.64; Conclusions: In the setting where ESC-R EB UTI is common among KT recipients, carbapenems peri-transplant prophylaxis could protect against the occurrence of early ESC-R EB UTI after KT. Further prospective studies should focus on this specific infection prevention strategy.
