Trends in Antibiotic Resistance in Uropathogens at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (2019-2024): A Retrospective Study.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 bacterial infections globally, with significant morbidity and rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of uropathogens and their antimicrobial resistance patterns at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) in Uganda. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 939 urine culture- positive records from January 2019 to December 2024 was conducted. Isolates were identified, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the disc diffusion method. Data on patient demographics, uropathogen distribution, and resistance trends of organisms with greater than or equal to 25 isolates were analyzed using Python-based statistical methods, including Chi-square and Mann-Kendall trend analysis. Results: Conclusion: This study underscores the urgent need for routine culture and sensitivity, and updated treatment guidelines to address the rising AMR among uropathogens in Uganda.
