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: Urinary tract infections are the primary factors that cause mortality and morbidity in patients with underlying comorbid conditions and are responsible for most hospital admissions worldwide. Objectives: The study aims to identify the common bacterial uropathogens and determine their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, including multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant bacteria. Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among inpatients provisionally suspected of urinary tract infections in the medical ward of Koshi Hospital, Biratnagar, Nepal. Samples were inoculated in a cystine lysine electrolyte-deficient medium, and pure growth of significant bacteria was further subjected Gram staining, biochemical identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing as per laboratory standard procedure and Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines, respectively. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed to analyze the outcomes and a Results: A total of 305 patients urine specimens were examined, of which 251 (82.29%) samples resulted in significant bacterial growth in the culture. Conclusion:
