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

Background: Urogenital pathogens such as Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 227 archived urine samples from clinically diagnosed UTI patients with positive leucocyte esterase but negative urine culture results. The urogenital pathogens were detected using pathogen specific singleplex PCR. Data were cleaned and analyzed using STATA version 15. Results: The median age of patients was 31[IQR 23 - 51] years and the majority (174, 76.7%) were females. Two thirds of patients had history of antibiotic use two weeks prior to recruitment (154, 67.8%). A total of 62(27.3%) urine samples were positive for at least one urogenital pathogen. Of 62 positive samples, 9 had two urogenital pathogens and 1 had three urogenital pathogens. The most predominant urogenital pathogen detected was Conclusion: More than a quarter of female patients with clinical symptoms of UTI and routine urine culture negative results were infected with urogenital pathogens mainly
