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

The epidemiology of urnary tract infections (UTIs) among men and women with diabetes is similar to the epidemiology of those without: Women have greater risk than men, and frequency of sexual activity is a risk factor. The bacteriology and antibiotic susceptibility patterns also do not, in general, differ from those without diabetes. Although persons with diabetes are more likely to have asymptomatic bacteriuria, asymptomatic bacteriuria does not lead to increased risk of symptomatic infection, except during pregnancy or prior to genital-urinary or gastrointestinal surgery, and should not be treated otherwise. However, diabetes doubles the risk of UTI. The source of this increase is not well understood, although bladder dysfunction, which increases with duration of diabetes, and glycosuria are hypothesized mechanisms. As treatment using sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors-which lead to glycosuria-increases, there is a potential for the frequency of UTI to increase among those with diabetes.
