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) are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide. Although Gram-negative bacteria predominate, Gram-positive cocci (GPC) are increasingly recognized as significant uropathogens. This retrospective study analyzed 655 patients with culture-confirmed GPC UTIs in a hospital in Central Portugal (2018-2022) to identify predictors of multidrug resistance (MDR). MDR was defined as resistance to three or more antimicrobial classes. The overall MDR prevalence was 83.7%, with
