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

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and the widespread use of antibiotics are a growing concern in both the urological field and public health. UTIs affect both male and female patients similarly, with a higher incidence among individuals with excessive rates of stone formation. This study aimed to evaluate the main microorganisms and antimicrobial agents involved in urinary tract infections in men undergoing surgical procedures for urolithiasis over a 2-year period. We conducted a retrospective, single-center, observational study over 24 months, from January 2024 to December 2025. Criteria for inclusion consisted of male patients of at least 18 years old, at least one positive urine culture (>105 CFU/ml), a single bacterial agent, imaging-confirmed urolithiasis, and a history of surgical management of renal stone disease (FURS, URS, and/or PCNL). Cases that were conservatively managed or presented no evidence of urolithiasis, as well as female patients, were excluded from this study. A total of 543 patients underwent assessment. Differences were observed between the incidence of Gram-positive (155, 28.55%) and Gram-negative (388, 71.45%) microbial agents. The highest incidence was highlighted for
