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
backgroundBacteria in urine, which is known as bacteriuria, is divided clinically into two types: symptomatic, where the patient experiences urinary complaints, and asymptomatic (ASB), in which the patient has no complaints. Pregnant women who have ASB may later develop symptomatic urinary tract infection, which is considered one of the most common bacterial infections in pregnancy and which, if untreated, can result in serious adverse pregnancy outcomes.
objectiveThe goal of this research was to find out the prevalence of bacteriuria and its related factors among pregnant women in the Jazan Region, Saudi Arabia, recognize correlated microbial organisms, and identify the antimicrobial profile.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at Jazan and Sabyia general hospitals from June 28, 2023 to June 28, 2024. A systematic random sample of 392 pregnant women was selected. Urine samples were collected from them for bacteriological cultures and antimicrobial sensitivity testing. Data were collected and analyzed.
resultsOut of 392 participants, 19% had bacteriuria. Most women were aged 26-35, overweight, and resided in urban areas. The most common bacteria found were Escherichia coli (39.2%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (17.6%). Antimicrobial sensitivity was highest for cefuroxime and vancomycin and lowest for erythromycin and penicillin. Significant predictors of bacteriuria were residence, body mass index, gestational age, hemoglobin levels, and hemoglobin A1c levels.
conclusionThe study revealed a significant prevalence of bacteriuria among pregnant women in Jazan Region, highlighting the importance of routine screening and targeted interventions for high-risk groups. Effective antibiotic stewardship programs are essential to managing resistance patterns.
