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
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections worldwide, affecting millions of people each year. The antimicrobial resistance characteristic of Enterococci worsens complications among this vulnerable population. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of Enterococci-caused UTIs, their risk factors, and antimicrobial resistance profile among people living with HIV in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methodology: Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2022 to April 2023. Presumptive Enterococci were identified using standard microbiological culture and biochemical tests and confirmed using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight of Mass Spectrometry at the species level. Results: This study revealed that among the (n= 102) people living with HIV-acquired culture-confirmed UTIs with diverse bacterial uropathogens, (n= 20; 19.6%) were acquired UTIs associated with Conclusion: The study concluded a higher prevalence of Enterococci-caused UTIs, with predicting factors: lower income per month, and exposure to antituberculosis drugs, and high level of antimicrobial resistance. Hence, there should be a targeted intervention that could tackle the higher prevalence of infection and antimicrobial resistance among these vulnerable populations, steering the identified predicting factors.
