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

introductionUrinary tract infections (UTIs) represent a growing concern in both clinical practice and public health, affecting hospitalized and outpatient populations across all ages and genders. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of uropathogens and their antimicrobial resistance profiles in male and female patients comparatively at a tertiary urological center. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective descriptive analysis was conducted, covering three identical 6-month periods-September 1 to February 28-in three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025. The study included 2270 male patients (2270. 57.06%) and 1708 female patients (1708. 42.94%), all with at least one positive urine culture (>10

resultsA higher prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria was observed compared to Gram-positive bacteria in both male (1752; 77.18% vs. 518; 22.82%) and female (1369; 80.15% vs. 339; 19.85%) groups. The most common microorganisms were

conclusionThis study highlights higher resistance rates among Gram-negative bacteria in males to commonly used antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and β-lactams. Resistance patterns in Gram-positive bacteria remained stable across both populations, with high susceptibility to fosfomycin, nitrofurantoin, linezolid, and carbapenems. Differences between sexes emphasize the need for more detailed analysis of local and sex-specific resistance patterns.
