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 Objectives: Uropathogenic Materials and Methods: A hospital-based observational study was conducted at Aarupadai Veedu Medical College and Hospital, Puducherry, India, from August 2022 to April 2024. A total of 106 UPEC isolates were obtained from symptomatic UTI patients. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was performed using the Kirby-Bauer method, and virulence genes ( Results: The mean age of patients was 49.7 years, with a female predominance (69.8%). Diabetes mellitus was the most common comorbidity (29.2%). Fever (60.4%) and dysuria (38.7%) were the most common symptoms. AST showed high susceptibility (>90%) to amikacin, nitrofurantoin, meropenem, and piperacillin/tazobactam, while >60% resistance was observed to cefotaxime and ceftazidime. Phenotypically, 30.2% of the isolates produced mannose-resistant hemagglutinins, and 17.9% produced hemolysin. ESBL production was found in 46.3%. Biofilm production was moderate in 65.1%, weak in 30.2% and strong in 4.7% and significantly correlated with multidrug resistance (p<0.05). Genotypically, 80.2% had Conclusion: The study highlights the significance of phenotypic and genotypic characterization in understanding UPEC virulence and resistance patterns, and emphasizes the need for targeted empiric therapy to improve UTI management.
