The Impact of Urinary Tract Infections in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Six-Year Single-Center Experience.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 (UTIs) are the most common infections following kidney transplantation. Risk factors for UTIs in kidney transplant recipients include female gender, age, pre-transplant urinary tract abnormalities, diabetes, and recurrent UTIs. Infections of the bladder or urethra are termed lower UTIs, while those involving the kidneys or ureters are called upper UTIs. Methods We retrospectively screened our hospital information system to identify all patients who underwent kidney transplantation in the surgery department at King Abdulaziz Medical Center in Riyadh. A total of 553 records were ultimately included in the final analysis. Results A total of 553 patients were ultimately included in the analysis. More than half of the patients were males (62.4%), and 31.1% were aged between 45 and 60 years. Of these, 230 patients had a UTI, representing 41.59% of the sample. The most commonly reported causes were hypertensive nephrosclerosis (43.4%) and diabetic nephropathy (28.8%). The most frequently isolated causative agents were
