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

The mrk operon gene clusters encode type 3 fimbriae, involving in biofilm formation. Hence, we aimed to find out the distribution of mrk genes among uropathogenic Klebsiella pneumoniae (UPKP) strains. Moreover, mrk genes, hypermucoviscosity (HMV) characteristic and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns and profiles were successfully, provided. From August 2023 to January 2024, 104 positive urine samples were collected. Standard microbiological and biochemical tests were employed to confirm the UPKP strains. Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was recruited to conduct antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST). The HMV characteristic in UPKP isolates was assessed using the string test. Finally, multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) was used to identify mrk genes distribution. Chi-square (χ
