Incidence Pattern, Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern and Associated Risk Factors of Bacterial Uropathogens Among General Population of Pakistan.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Purpose: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are of the most common bacterial infections in Pakistan. Rapid increase in antibiotic resistance has resulted in a limited number of treatment options available. This study aimed to determine the incidence patterns of uropathogens, their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern and risk factors for UTI among the general population. Methods: This laboratory-based cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2020 and March 2021. Urine samples were collected, cultured and bacterial isolates were identified. Bacterial isolates were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility. Data regarding socio-demographic characteristics, clinical features and risk factors were collected using structured questionnaire. Results: Of 459 urine samples, 299 (65.1%) showed positive urine cultures (10 Conclusion: UTI is an important problem in the study area, with a prevalence rate of 65%. All bacterial isolates developed resistance towards most antibiotics available on the market. Therefore, there is a need to develop management strategies based on susceptibility pattern of uropathogens. Additionally, proper public education regarding causes of disease transmission and control strategies is required.
