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

Introduction: urinary tract infection (UTI) comes second after respiratory infections in most communities and hospital settings, affecting people of all ages. Frequent use of antibiotics to manage UTI has resulted in development of resistance, calling upon policymakers to fast-track and enforce policies that guide the use of antibiotics in the country. This study intended to determine the current antibiotic resistance to uropathogens among patients attending Kericho County Referral Hospital. Methods: three hundred urine samples from eligible participants were cultured and bacteria colonies identified using biochemical tests. Antibiotic sensitivity was done using Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method on Mueller Hinton Agar.
