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

Antimicrobial resistance represents a major global challenge for healthcare systems, particularly in urinary tract infections (UTIs), where empirical antibiotic therapy is frequently required. Acute pyelonephritis (AP) remains a severe condition, requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. Local epidemiological data are essential for optimizing therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study was to analyze the pathogen distribution and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns in patients with complicated AP. An observational, analytical study on community-acquired and hospital-acquired AP was conducted on patients admitted with complicated AP between January 2021 and December 2025. After applying the inclusions and exclusions criteria, 553 urinary isolates with complicated AP were analyzed to determine pathogen distribution and phenotypic AMR patterns derived from antimicrobial susceptibility testing. A total of 109 (19.7%) AMR isolates presented resistance phenotype. Resistant phenotypes were more frequently observed among male gender; age did not reach statistical significance. This study highlights the continued predominance of
