Microbial biofilm formation and catheter-associated bacteriuria in patients with suprapubic catheterisation.
Article in World journal of urology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
purposeCatheter-associated bacteriuria (CAB) with transurethral catheters is almost inevitable. Suprapubic catheters (SPCs) are widely considered to decrease the risk of CAB. However, SPCs are implants similarly prone to microbial biofilm formation. The spectrum of colonising pathogens has not been investigated. The aim of this prospective study was: (1) to assess the diversity of microbial suprapubic catheter colonisation (MSPCC), (2) to identify risk factors and (3) to investigate its association with CAB and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CA-UTI).
methodsA total of 218 SPCs from 112 patients were studied. Urine specimens were obtained after device replacement or removal. Sonication was performed to dislodge adherent microorganisms. Data of patient sex, age, indwelling time, and underlying disease were recorded.
resultsSonicate-fluid culture (SFC) detected MSPCC in 95 %. Increasing indwelling time correlated with MSPCC (p < 0.05). Negative SFC was more frequent when antibiotic prophylaxis was applied at time of catheter placement (15 vs. 2 %, p < 0.05). Most commonly isolated were Enterobacteriaceae (45.8 %), followed by Enterococcus spp. (25.7 %) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10.3 %). CAB and CA-UTI were observed in 95 and 11 %, respectively.
conclusionsThis study provides the first analysis of MSPCC. Indwelling time increases, whereas antibiotic prophylaxis decreases the risk of MSPCC. The spectrum of pathogens is comparable to the one obtained from urethral catheter biofilms. Urine specimens could not demonstrate the microbial diversity of MSPCC. SPCs are not preferable to urethral catheters to reduce CAB. Whether the risk of CA-UTI could be minimised by SPCs remains to be clarified.
