Do we really know the prevalence of multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli in the territorial and nosocomial population?
Article in Urology annals, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
introductionThe purpose of this work was to evaluate the prevalence of the Quinolones resistant Escherichia coli and/or ESBL producers in the population of our catchment area and hospital component. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom January 2008 to December 2010, all data concerning urine cultures in patients with suspected urinary tract infection and/or asymptomatic bacteriuria referring at our center located in the south of Milan were prospectively evaluated.
resultsIn 2008, 2136 outpatient and 1232 hospital urine cultures were analyzed. The presence of quinolone-resistant strains was 21% at a local level and 53% in hospitals. ESBL-producing strains were isolated in 3.5% of cases at a local level and 20.5% in hospitals. In 2009, 2396 outpatient and 1320 hospital urine cultures were analyzed. The presence of quinolone-resistant strains was 21% at a local level and 46% in hospitals. ESBL-producing strains were isolated in 5.4% of cases at a local level and 20% in hospitals. In 2010, 2601 outpatient and 1717 hospital urine cultures were analyzed. The presence of quinolone-resistant strains was 34% at a local level and 26% in hospitals. ESBL-producing strains were isolated in 6.7% of cases at a local level and 20.6% in hospitals. The multidrug resistance was significantly (P < 0.01) higher in ESBL-positive strains.
conclusionDue to rising antibiotic resistance among uropathogens, it is important to have knowledge of the organisms causing urinary tract infections and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns. In areas with high prevalence of E. Coli resistance, performing urine culture before every surgical procedure became mandatory, in order to prevent fatal sepsis.
