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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesUrinary tract infections (UTI) represent a global problem with implications for mortality and morbidity. Published data present different bacterial incidences and different antibiotic resistance. The objective of our study is to evaluate the bacteria distribution in positive urine cultures in a mixed adult population and evaluate the differences in antibiotic resistance in in- and outpatients.

methodsWe analyzed 1186 positive urine cultures in 2021 from the Emergency County Hospital "Pius Brinzeu" from Timisoara, Romania. We evaluated the bacteria distribution and antibiotic resistance stratified by in and outpatients from a mixed adult population.

resultsThe median age was 67, with 65.7% females and 28.5% were outpatients. In inpatients, the most commonly identified bacteria was

conclusionssusceptibility. Bacteria identified in inpatients' positive urine cultures present higher resistance rates to several antibiotics. Our study could be a foundation for a local or even national guideline for the antibiotic treatment of urinary tract infections.
