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

Background and Aims: A surge in antimicrobial resistance and multidrug-resistant organisms among uropathogens have complicated its management over time. It is imperative to examine epidemiology and local antimicrobial susceptibility patterns to promote evidence-based management. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of uropathogens and proportion of multidrug-resistant organisms at a remote tertiary hospital in Bhutan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Microbiology Laboratory of a remote tertiary hospital in Bhutan, by retrospectively reviewing medical records of patients who underwent urine culture and sensitivity testing from January 1 to December 31, 2025. All culture - positive (≥ 10 Results: A total of 1867 urine samples were analyzed, of which 19.9% were culture positive. Culture positivity was more common in female (85.8%), and older than 40 years (55%). Gram-negative bacteria constituted the majority (98.4%), with Conclusion: Most of the culture positive were caused by Gram-negative bacteria-
