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

Urogenital infections contribute greatly to both hospital- and community-acquired infections. In Ghana, the prevalence of resistance to commonly used antibiotics is relatively high. This study sought to evaluate the antibiotic sensitivity of bacterial urogenital pathogens from patient samples in a regional and district hospital in the Volta Region of Ghana. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data obtained between January and December 2023 from Volta Regional Hospital and Margret Marquart Catholic Hospital. Bacteria were isolated from urine, urethral swabs, and vaginal swabs from 204 patients. Data on culture and sensitivity assays performed using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method were extracted and analyzed using WHONET. The most prevalent organisms isolated from the samples from both facilities were
