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

The urinary tract was long considered a sterile environment, but recent studies have revealed the presence of diverse microbial communities in healthy individuals collectively known as the urinary microbiome or urobiome. Although the urobiome has been studied primarily in populations from North America, Europe, and Asia, little is known about its characteristics in Latin America. In this work, we conducted a descriptive analysis of the urobiome of 77 adults, 40 females, and 37 males with and without symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTI) from Uruguay using a strategy that includes expanded quantitative uroculture, 16S rRNA gene sequencing from urine, and intracellular bacterial community evaluation. The microbial profiles revealed a wide diversity in the bacterial community composition, including both
