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

backgroundUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common health problem worldwide, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Data on the prevalence of urinary tract infections, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and the associated factors are scarce in the study area. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and associated factors among urinary tract infections suspected patients.

methodsA hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Nekemte Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, from June to September 2024 among 270 participants. Midstream urine samples were collected under aseptic techniques. Then samples were cultured on blood and MacConkey agars following standard microbiological techniques. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing was performed using the disc diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) method. The data were checked for completeness and consistency, entered into Epi Data version 4.6, and analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the associated factors of urinary tract infections. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultOf the total samples collected, 78/270 (28.9%) had significant bacteriuria. Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria accounted for 67/78 (85.9%) and 11/78 (14.1%), among which Escherichia coli was the most prevalent, 30/78 (38.5%), followed by Klebsiella species, 26/78 (33.3%). Gram-positive isolates were highly susceptible to gentamicin (100%) and clindamycin (88.9%). Gram-negative bacteria showed high-level susceptibility to amikacin (100%), cefepime (93.3%), and gentamicin (91.0%). The total multidrug resistance identified was 44/78 (56.4%). Female gender, a having history of UTI, and antibiotic use without a prescription were statistically significant with UTI. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Most of the isolated uropathogens were multidrug-resistant. A significant association with UTI was observed with being female, having a previous history of UTI, and using antibiotic without a prescription. Treatment of UTI should be supported by culture and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.
