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 and Aims: Urinary tract infections are among the most common infections globally, with increasing rates of antibiotic resistance complicating their management. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, bacteriological profile, and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of uropathogens isolated from urine samples at Methodist Hospital, Wenchi, Ghana. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using data on urine culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing obtained from the Microbiology Unit of the Laboratory Department between March 2024 and January 2025. Results: A total of 504 urine samples were analyzed, revealing a prevalence of urinary tract infections at 45.2%. The predominant pathogens were Gram-negative bacteria, with Conclusion: The identified patterns of antimicrobial resistance highlight the critical importance of careful antibiotic selection to effectively manage urinary tract infections.
