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
Objective: To compare demographic patterns, diagnosis distribution, and prescribing trends between urgent care and non-urgent care clinics for infectious disease encounters across age groups. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting: Outpatient encounters from 93 facilities (7 urgent care, 86 non-urgent clinics) in a single Michigan health system, from January 2021 to December 2024. Participants: A total of 161,328 outpatient encounters involving an antibiotic prescription. Data were stratified by age group, sex, race, insurance type, and care setting. Methods: Antibiotic prescription and ICD-10 diagnosis data were extracted from the CHARM database and compared across settings using χ Results: Urgent care encounters involved younger patients (median age 45 vs 55 yr, Conclusions: Comparatively, a larger proportion of urgent care visits were for patients under the age of 18 and for patients with URTIs. Meanwhile, a greater proportion of non-urgent care encounters were for patients over the age of 60 years old and patients with unspecified UTI.
