Microbiological profile and antibiotic susceptibility profile of urine cultures in patients with spinal cord injury-retrospective study.

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) and urinary tract colonizations (UTCs) are common in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). The aim of this study was to characterize the microbiological profile of urine cultures in patients with SCI and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility profile of most common microorganisms, to track antibiotic resistance and facilitate empiric antibiotic selection. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on 235 urine culture results of 29 patients with SCI followed at a Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine outpatient consultation between January 2016 and April 2024. Data regarding sociodemographics, cause of SCI, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale classification, voiding method, microbiological urine culture profile, and antimicrobial resistance were collected and statistically analyzed. UTIs (defined as bacteriuria, leukocyturia, positive urine culture, and new onset of signs and/or symptoms) were differentiated from UTCs. Results: Patients were mostly men (86%), with a mean age of 52.1 years. UTIs occurred in 134 specimens (57%) and UTCs in 101 (43%). In both UTIs and UTCs, microbiological agents were mostly bacteria; Conclusions: In UTIs and UTCs,
