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: The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of urinary tract infections (UTI) pathogens poses a significant challenge to the effective treatment of this condition. This study aimed to conduct a retrospective study to analyze the etiology and antibiotic resistance patterns of common urinary tract pathogens in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Methods: The study employed a standardized data collection form to extract information on age, sex, urine culture results, antibiotic susceptibility test results, and antibiotic treatment regimens from 2020 to 2023. Results: The primary agent responsible for UTIs was Conclusion: The surge in multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative isolates presents a significant healthcare hurdle for UTI patients. A noteworthy portion of prevalent pathogens, resistant to NAL and OFL, falls into the category of ESBL-producing
