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 infection (UTI) is a common bacterial infection among people living with HIV (PLWHIV) and can cause complications, particularly due to antimicrobial resistance. Data on UTIs among PLWHIV in Ethiopia are limited. This study assessed the bacterial profile, antimicrobial susceptibility, and associated factors of UTIs among 255 PLWHIV attending the ART outpatient clinic at Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from March to June 2025. Clean-catch midstream urine samples were inoculated on MacConkey and blood agar to identify pathogens, and antimicrobial susceptibility tested by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05 with 95% confidence intervals. UTIs were identified in 28 participants (11%), with E. coli (46.4%), S. aureus (21.4%), and P. aeruginosa (14.3%) predominating. Female sex (AOR = 2.48; 95% CI 1.45-6.27; p = 0.010), HIV RNA > 1000 copies/mL (AOR = 6.30; 95% CI 4.52-14.61; p = 0.001), CD4 + < 200 cells/mm
