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: Fungal urinary tract infections (FUTIs) are a growing concern among hospitalized patients, with Materials and methods: This retrospective observational study used data from all hospitalized patients with positive urine cultures for fungal infections accompanied by clinical symptoms at King Fahd Hospital between June 2016 and October 2019. Patient demographics, clinical comorbidities, and microbiological data were collected for analysis. Results: During the study period, 46 patients with confirmed FUTIs were identified from 87,447 admissions. There was a dramatic increase in the number of cases every year. Conclusion: This case series highlights the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with confirmed FUTIs, providing valuable insights into the increasing burden of these infections in hospital settings. The findings underscore the importance of understanding risk factors and the need for continuous surveillance to inform clinical practice and guide prompt and effective intervention.
