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

Urinary tract infections are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide, with increasing antimicrobial resistance posing a significant public health challenge. This study aimed to determine the demographic distribution, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of uropathogens, and the clinical implications of UTIs in patients with renal comorbidities in the Al-Baha region of Saudi Arabia. A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at King Fahad Hospital, Al-Baha, from January 2021 to September 2022. A total of 1126 culture-positive UTI cases were included. Patient demographics, uropathogen distribution, antimicrobial resistance profiles, and clinical characteristics were extracted from hospital records. Subgroup analysis was performed for 32 patients with renal comorbidities, including end-stage renal disease (ESRD), glomerulonephritis (GN), and kidney transplant recipients (KTs). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25. Most cases occurred in patients aged >70 years (43.2%) and females (68.29%).
