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

backgroundIn the present study, we aimed to determine the frequency of the csgA, fimH, mrkD, foc, papaGI, papGII and papGIII genes, to provide and to design fimbrial adhesin gene (FAG) patterns and profiles for the isolated uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains.

methodsThe enrollment of 108 positive urine samples was performed during seven months, between January 2022 and July 2022. The UPEC strains were confirmed through the standard microbiological and biochemical tests. The antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed through the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Molecular screening of FAGs was done through the polymerase chain reaction technology. The statistical analyses including chi square and Fisher's exact tests were performed to interpret the obtained results in the present study.

resultsAs the main results, the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns, multi- (MDR) and extensively drug-resistance (XDR) patterns and FAG patterns were designed and provided. fimH (93.3%), csgA (90.4%) and papG (37.5%) (papGII (30.8%)) genes were recognized as the top three FAGs, respectively. Moreover, the frequency of csgA-fimH gene profile was identified as the top FAG pattern (46.2%) among the others. The isolates bearing csgA-fimH gene profile were armed with a versatile of phenotypic AMR patterns. In the current study, 27.8%, 69.4% and 1.9% of the UPEC isolates were detected as extended-spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs) producers, MDR and XDR strains, respectively.

conclusionsIn conclusion, detection, providing and designing of patterns and profiles in association with FAGs, AMR feature in UPEC strains give us an effective option to have a successful and influential prevention for both of UTIs initiation and AMR feature.
