Epidemiology of Urinary Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistance Trends: A Retrospective Analysis Stratified by Age and Sex from a Large Tertiary Hospital in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 (UTIs) are among the most prevalent bacterial infections worldwide, with notable variations in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns influenced by age and sex. Local surveillance of resistance trends is essential for optimizing empirical treatment. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed urine culture data collected over a span of 7-year (2017-2023) from a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. The distribution of Pathogens and patterns of AMR were examined based on sex, age group, and year. Logistic regression was used to assess predictors of resistance. Results: The analysis included 3,201 urinary isolates from patients with culture-confirmed UTIs. Conclusion: This study demonstrates significant variability in UTI pathogens and their resistance patterns based on sex and age. The findings support the need for targeted empirical treatment protocols and underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring of AMR.
