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
Introduction: There is a relationship between excess body weight and the risk of a number of infectious diseases, including urinary tract infections (UTIs). This study aimed to investigate the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and UTIs among Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies of the Iranian Adults (PERSIAN) Guilan Cohort Study (PGCS) population. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 10,520 individuals aged 35-70 years from PGCS. The demographical data and clinical characteristics of the participants were recorded. Microscopic examination of the urine samples was performed to detect the presence of bacteria or white blood cells (WBC) as indicators of infection. UTI was defined as the presence of bacteria in the urine (Few, moderate, and many) and a value of ≥10 WBC/high power field (HPF) by light microscopy. Results: The prevalence of UTIs in this study was 8.8%, with a higher incidence in females compared to males (12.2% vs. 4.7%, Conclusion: The findings of this study provide evidence supporting a higher prevalence of UTIs among individuals with obesity.
