Differences in the pattern of antibiotic prescription profile and recurrence rate for possible urinary tract infections in women with and without diabetes.
Article in Diabetes care, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveWomen with diabetes have a high incidence and complication rate of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Our aims were to compare current treatment strategies with respect to recurrence rates in women with diabetes with those without diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsWe used a Dutch registration database containing pharmacy dispensing data. A total of 10,366 women with diabetes (17.5% premenopausal) (aged < or =55 years) and 200,258 women without diabetes (68% premenopausal) who received a first course of trimethoprim, nitrofurantoin, fosfomycin, or norfloxacin between January 1999 and January 2006 were included. We compared short (< or or =5 days) with long (>5 days) prescriptions and norfloxacin with trimethoprim, nitrofurantoin, and fosfomycin. A recurrence was defined as a second prescription for one of the above-mentioned agents or a first with amoxicillin (clavulanic acid), fluoroquinolones, or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole between 6 and 30 days after inclusion.
resultsPremenopausal women with diabetes more often received a long (26.5 vs. 19.2%; P < 0.001) treatment with norfloxacin (10.7 vs. 6.2%; P < 0.001) but still had a higher recurrence rate (16.1 vs. 12.2%; P = 0.003) compared with those without diabetes. Similarly, postmenopausal women with diabetes more often received a longer (32.8 vs. 28.8%; P < 0.001) treatment with norfloxacin (15.2 vs. 12.7%; P < 0.001) but had a higher recurrence rate (19.1 vs. 16.4%; P < 0.001) compared with those without diabetes.
conclusionsDespite the fact that patients with diabetes more often received longer and more potent initial treatment than patients without diabetes, pre- and postmenopausal women with diabetes more often had recurrences of their UTIs.
