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 Infections caused by multidrug resistant uropathogens have become a significant global public health problem with Nigeria being no exception. Objective: This study is aimed at profiling and curing the plasmids of selected multidrug resistant uropathogens isolated from patients with urinary tract infection in a tertiary hospital in Calabar, Nigeria. Methodology: Isolates were obtained from urine samples of patients using standard microbiological techniques. Multidrug resistant bacterial isolates were then selected for plasmid DNA analysis and curing. Results: The study revealed that Conclusion: The reduction in percentage resistance due to plasmid curing observed in this study suggests that the resistance of the isolates to antibiotics were plasmid-mediated. Antibiogram and monitoring of plasmid mediated resistance are necessary for proper management of urinary tract infections.
