Bacterial profiling and antibiotic resistance patterns in urinary tract infections: a microbiological analysis from Dera Isamil Khan, Pakistan.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND/
aimUrinary tract infections remain one of the most common bacterial infections globally and are associated with a wide range of pathogens. This disease continues to be a significant public health concern, particularly in Pakistan and the district of Dera Ismail Khan (D.I.Khan). The current study was conducted to determine the frequency and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of bacterial isolates from patients with Urinary Tract Infections. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was conducted from January 2022 to November 2024 in the district of D.I.Khan. A total of 610 individuals who were referred to or visited the Pathology Department of Gomal Medical College and Jamil Medical Lab for urine culture and sensitivity testing were included. All urine specimens were collected and processed under aseptic conditions.
resultsOf the 610 individuals, 260 (42.6%) had urine cultures positive for bacteria, while 350 (57.4%) showed no significant growth. Among the 260 positive cases, 105 (40.4%) were male and 155 (59.6%) were female. The highest frequency of infection was found in the older age group (> 60 years), accounting for 60 cases (23%). Among all isolates, E. coli (59.6%) was the most prevalent pathogen. Imipenem, nitrofurantoin, and fosfomycin were the most effective antimicrobial agents, while all pathogens exhibited 100% resistance to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and ampicillin.
conclusionThis study highlights the bacterial profile and increasing antimicrobial resistance in urinary tract infections, underscoring the need for regular surveillance and empirical treatment strategies.
