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

The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance have been significant global health challenges, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As healthcare systems faced unprecedented pressures, the management of non-COVID conditions, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), also encountered obstacles due to changes in microbial flora and antibiotic usage patterns. This cross-sectional study aimed to characterize the antimicrobial resistance trends among bacterial uropathogens isolated from patients in the Western region of Romania, between January 2020 and December 2022. The objectives were to map the resistance patterns and observe the pandemic's influence on antimicrobial resistance, particularly among enterobacterial Gram-negative species, to guide treatment and infection control strategies. From a total of 2472 urine samples collected during the study period, 378 positive samples were analyzed. This study found that
