A retrospective analysis of uropathogens isolated and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns at a regional hospital in North West province, South Africa.

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 are among the most common infections affecting the general population. Their high incidence, as well as frequent antimicrobial use, contribute significantly to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Objective: To determine the profile and prevalence of uropathogens isolated from urine specimens at a regional hospital and assess susceptibility patterns to commonly used antimicrobials recommended by the National Essential Medicines List (NEML). Methods: This was a retrospective evaluation of laboratory reports for all urine specimens submitted between 01 January 2020 and 31 December 2023. Results: The most frequently cultured organisms were Conclusion: What this study adds: This retrospective analysis identifies predominant uropathogens' updated antimicrobial susceptibility profiles, some of which misalign with NEML guidelines. Insights will guide targeted antimicrobial stewardship, empiric therapy, and local surveillance to curb AMR.
