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

backgroundPyelonephritis during pregnancy represents a significant maternal-fetal risk, particularly in the context of increasing multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. This study aimed to characterize the microbiological profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of MDR pathogens causing pyelonephritis in pregnancy. Secondary objectives included the evaluation of patient characteristics, associated risk factors, and pregnancy outcomes.

methodsA retrospective comparative study was conducted including 171 pregnant patients hospitalized with acute pyelonephritis between 1 January 2017 and 30 April 2025. Thirty-four patients with MDR bacterial infections were compared with 137 patients with infections caused by pathogens with conserved antibiotic susceptibility (Non-MDR).

resultsPatients with MDR pyelonephritis were significantly older than those with Non-MDR infections (mean age 27.76 vs. 25.30 years,

conclusionsThese findings highlight the need for the periodic revision of empirical antibiotic protocols and risk-adapted therapeutic strategies in pregnant patients in order to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity.
