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

importanceUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and significant health issues in pets. Although extensive international research exists on their prevention and treatment, a notable gap remains in analyzing the characteristics of the causative bacteria.

objectiveTo investigate the phylogroup, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and molecular genotype of

methodsUropathogenic

resultsSixty-seven UPECs were isolated from urine samples of dogs (n = 57) and cats (n = 10). Regarding age, the incidence of UTI was the highest in the 11 to 15 years range (46.3%, 31/67). Regarding sex, it accounted for 58.2% (n = 39) in female dogs and 11.9% (8/67) in female cats. Phylogroup B2 was the most frequent (n = 51, 75.0%) among all strains, followed by D (16.2%), A (7.4%), and B1 (1.5%). Thirty-seven (55.2%) UPECs were multidrug-resistant (MDR), and 24 (35.8%) of them belonged to phylogroup B2. Extended-spectrum cephalosporin and carbapenemase genes were detected in 18 (26.9%) UPECs and plasmids carrying these resistance genes were conjugated between strains. Thirty sequence types (STs) were identified among the total strains. Among the UPECs (n = 51) with phylogroup B2, 23 STs were identified, with ST73 being the most frequent (n = 12, 17.9%), followed by ST131 (n = 9, 13.4%). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Phylogroup B2 strains, particularly ST73 and ST121, were most prevalent in UPECs from Korean companion dogs and cats. For MDR UPECs, appropriate antibiotic selection is essential for the treatment of UTIs.
